Glycomet GP2 Tablet is a combination medication that plays a crucial role in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It contains Metformin, which reduces glucose production by the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity, and Glimepiride, which promotes insulin secretion from the pancreas.

This dual-action formula helps reduce both fasting and postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels. It is commonly prescribed when diet, exercise, and Metformin monotherapy fail to deliver sufficient glycemic control.

Maintaining blood sugar with Glycomet GP2 helps prevent complications like:

• Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage)
• Diabetic nephropathy (kidney damage)
• Retinopathy (eye damage)
• Cardiovascular complications

It is important to combine this medicine with a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood sugar monitoring. Your physician may adjust the dose based on your blood glucose levels, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

Metformin Hydrochloride (SR) – 500 mg
• Glimepiride – 2 mg

Glycomet GP2 is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It helps lower blood glucose levels and maintain long-term glycemic control when lifestyle modifications and single-drug therapy are inadequate.

It is commonly prescribed as:
- Second-line therapy after Metformin monotherapy
- First-line in combination therapy for newly diagnosed patients with higher HbA1c

The usual dosage is one tablet once daily, preferably taken with breakfast. Your doctor may adjust the dosage based on:
- Blood glucose levels
- Other antidiabetic medications
- Diet and physical activity

Do not skip or double the dose.

Common side effects may include:
- Hypoglycemia (especially if meals are skipped)
- Nausea or upset stomach
- Mild weight gain
- Headache
- Flatulence or bloating

Rare but serious:
- Lactic acidosis (with Metformin, in renal impairment)

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like severe dizziness, confusion, or difficulty breathing.
