Frequently asked questions
What is Hmet Trio 2 Tablet SR?
Hmet Trio 2 Tablet SR contains a combination of three medications: Glimepiride, Metformin, and Voglibose. This medicine is prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). It helps regulate blood glucose levels in adults when combined with dietary adjustments and regular physical activity. Glimepiride lowers blood sugar by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas. Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver and enhancing insulin sensitivity. Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that inhibits postprandial (after meals) glucose level increase in the body. This combination is not indicated for type 1 diabetes treatment.
