Glamet SR Tablet 15's is used in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Metformin and Glibenclamide, which works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it stimulates beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. In some cases, you may experience stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, headache or low blood sugar. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
