Description
METTFOR G2 TAB is a combination medication containing Metformin and Glimepiride, primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class, working by reducing glucose production in the liver, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing glucose uptake by cells. Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, helping to lower blood sugar levels. This combination is effective for patients who need dual therapy to control hyperglycemia when diet, exercise, or single-drug therapy is insufficient. It is typically prescribed for adults and should be taken with meals to optimize absorption and reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential while using this medication to ensure proper dosage and effectiveness.
Uses:
– Controls blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
– Enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.
– Reduces hepatic glucose production effectively.
– Supports combination therapy for better glycemic control.
Precautions:
– Monitor kidney function regularly, as Metformin can accumulate in renal impairment.
– Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, which may increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
– Be cautious if you have a history of heart disease or severe infections.
– Discontinue temporarily before major surgeries or imaging procedures involving contrast dye.
