Glycomet-GP

The medication works through complementary mechanisms:
• Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity
• Glimepiride stimulates pancreatic beta cells to increase insulin secretion
This synergistic action provides comprehensive blood sugar regulation.
