Product Description:
SUGATAB® – M1 / M2 combines Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin secretion, with Metformin, a first-line insulin sensitizer. This dual-action tablet is indicated for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who require better glycemic control than either agent alone can provide. It is especially effective in patients with insulin resistance and suboptimal beta-cell function.
Key Benefits:
-
Targets insulin deficiency and resistance simultaneously
-
Controls both fasting and postprandial blood glucose
-
Supports HbA1c reduction and long-term glycemic control
-
Convenient once-daily dosing
-
Cost-effective solution for step-up diabetes therapy
How it works:
-
Glimepiride increases insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner
-
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose output and improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues
Together, they offer complementary action for broad-spectrum glycemic control.
How to use:
-
Take one tablet once daily, preferably with breakfast or the first main meal
-
Swallow whole with water — do not crush or split
-
Dosage should be individualized by your physician based on blood glucose monitoring
-
Maintain regular diet and exercise for optimal results
Safety Advice:
-
May cause hypoglycemia, especially if meals are skipped
-
GI upset may occur early in treatment due to Metformin (usually temporary)
-
Avoid alcohol to reduce risk of lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia
-
Monitor blood glucose and renal function regularly
Precautions:
-
Not for use in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or severe renal/hepatic impairment
-
