How it works

Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas in order to lower the blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide which works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

What are the possible side effects of Zoryl-M 1 Tablet PR?
Common side effects associated with Zoryl-M 1 Tablet PR include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), altered taste, nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, and headache.

Can the use of Zoryl-M 1 Tablet PR lead to Vitamin B12 deficiency?

Regular Vitamin B12 supplementation is recommended to prevent these complications.
