How It Works

Glimestar-PM2 Tablet ER contains three antidiabetic medicines including glimepiride, metformin, and pioglitazone. They work through various mechanisms to improve blood sugar control when single or dual therapy is ineffective. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that lowers blood glucose by increasing pancreatic insulin release. Metformin is a biguanide that works by decreasing the production of glucose in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing insulin sensitivity in the body. Pioglitazone is a thiazolidinedione that boosts insulin sensitivity.
