About Glimulin MF Forte Tablet

Glimulin MF Forte Tablet belongs to a class of medicines called anti-diabetic drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone.

Glimulin MF Forte Tablet contains Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride helps the pancreas release more insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver, slows down sugar absorption from food, and helps the body use insulin more effectively.

In some cases, Glimulin MF Forte Tablet may cause side effects like stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, headache or metallic taste. Most of these side effects of Glimulin MF Forte Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Glimulin MF Forte Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Glimulin MF Forte Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding and in children. Avoid alcohol consumption with Glimulin MF Forte Tablet as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis (accumulation of lactic acid in the body).

Uses of Glimulin MF Forte Tablet

Glimulin MF Forte Tablet is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The detailed uses of Glimulin MF Forte Tablet are as follows:<br/>• Management of Type 2 Diabetes: Glimulin MF Forte Tablet helps lower blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.<br/>• Improvement of Insulin Sensitivity: Glimulin MF Forte Tablet enhances the action of insulin, making the body's tissues more responsive to it.<br/>• Reduction of Cardiovascular Risks: Regular use of Glimulin MF Forte Tablet can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients.<br/>• Control of Blood Sugar Levels Post Meals: Glimulin MF Forte Tablet assists in lowering postprandial blood sugar spikes, which is beneficial for overall diabetes management.<br/>

Medicinal Benefits

  • Glimulin MF Forte Tablet is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
  • It helps manage blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes and prevents diabetes-related complications like kidney damage, eye problems, and nerve issues.
  • Glimulin MF Forte Tablet contains Glimepiride and Metformin, which work together to offer a dual-action approach for effectively managing type 2 diabetes.
  • Glimepiride stimulates cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, which helps remove sugar from the blood.

How Glimulin MF Forte Tablet Works

Glimulin MF Forte Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic drugs, namely: Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood.
