While effective, it may cause side effects such as hypoglycemia, especially when combined with other antidiabetic drugs or alcohol. Patients should monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and consult their doctor if they experience symptoms like rapid breathing, persistent nausea, or jaundice. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and take the medicine with food to minimize stomach upset.

Glimpure M 2mg/500mg Tablet SR is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide which works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

You have been prescribed this combination medicine as it can control blood sugar better than metformin alone. Continue to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medicines along with Glimpure M 2mg/500mg Tablet SR.
