About Glorimet G 1 Tablet

Glorimet G 1 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.

Glorimet G 1 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, Glorimet G 1 Tablet may cause side effects like stomach pain, nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, headache or metallic taste. Most of these side effects of Glorimet G 1 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 Glorimet G 1 Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Glorimet G 1 Tablet is not recommended during pregnancy, breastfeeding and in children. Avoid alcohol consumption with Glorimet G 1 Tablet as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis (accumulation of lactic acid in the body).
