About Glimlet PG 1 Tablet
Glimlet PG 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. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).
Glimlet PG 1 Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic drugs, namely: Glimepiride, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. 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. Pioglitazone works by increasing the sensitivity of liver, muscle, and fat cells to insulin and enables cells to remove glucose from blood more effectively. Thereby, Glimlet PG 1 Tablet helps to control blood sugar levels.
Take Glimlet PG 1 Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Glimlet PG 1 Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition.

Avoid breastfeeding while taking Glimlet PG 1 Tablet as it may be excreted in human milk. If you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy, please inform your doctor before taking Glimlet PG 1 Tablet as it may harm the unborn baby.

Uses of Glimlet PG 1 Tablet
Medicinal Benefits
Glimlet PG 1 Tablet contains three antidiabetic drugs (Glimepiride, Metformin and Voglibose) used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride stimulates cells in the pancreas that produce insulin which helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin reduces 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. Pioglitazone works by increasing the sensitivity of liver, muscle and fat cells to insulin and enables cells to remove glucose from blood more effectively. Also, it decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver and preserves the functioning of beta cells in the pancreas that produces insulin. Thereby, Glimlet PG 1 Tablet helps to control blood sugar levels.
