Glimpure MV 2.3 mg Tablet is a combination of anti-diabetic drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition that affects the way your body processes glucose. The blood glucose level increases and causes symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger; hence, people with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or, if at all the insulin is produced, it is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). 

Glimpure MV 2.3 mg Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic drugs: Glimepiride, Metformin and Voglibose. Glimepiride, which is a 'sulfonylurea', acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Together, these prevent the blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your diabetes under control.

Metformin, which is a 'biguanide', acts by lowering the glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body's response to insulin. Voglibose, which is an 'alpha-glucosidase inhibitor', prevents the breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose in the intestine.
