Product Introduction

Glycomet GP 1 Forte Tablet is a combination of two oral anti-diabetic medicines—Glimepiride and Metformin. It is commonly prescribed to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially when single-drug therapy is not enough. This combination works through complementary mechanisms to improve glycemic control.

It is best taken with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Consistent use, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, enhances its effectiveness in controlling diabetes-related complications.

Uses of Glycomet GP 1 Forte Tablet

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (in adults)

Benefits of This Medicine

By combining two medications with different modes of action, Glycomet GP 1 Forte provides better blood sugar regulation. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. This dual action helps in reducing the risk of complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage, and heart disease.

Possible Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and temporary. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor promptly.

• Hypoglycemia (especially if meals are skipped)
• Nausea or vomiting
• Stomach upset or abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Metallic taste
• Weight gain (due to Glimepiride)

How to Use

Take the tablet as directed by your doctor, preferably with meals. Swallow it whole with water. Do not chew or crush. Try to take it at the same time daily for best results.

How It Works

Glycomet GP 1 Forte Tablet offers glycemic control through:

• Glimepiride: Stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells.
• Metformin: Decreases hepatic glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity.

This combination ensures a comprehensive approach to controlling elevated blood sugar levels, especially in insulin-resistant individuals.
