Accuglim M2 Tablet

Introduction to Accuglim M2 Tablet

Accuglim M2 tablets are a combination medication used primarily in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Each tablet typically contains two active ingredients: Metformin hydrochloride and Glimepiride. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class of drugs and works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s response to insulin. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin and helps lower blood sugar levels. It is typically manufactured by Cadell Healthcare.

Accuglim M2 tablets are typically taken orally, usually once or twice daily with meals, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The dosage may vary based on individual health needs and response to treatment. It’s important for patients using Accuglim M2 to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and to follow a healthy lifestyle including diet and exercise.

Together, Accuglim M2 tablets help control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes who cannot achieve adequate glycemic control through diet and exercise alone. This combination medication is usually prescribed when metformin alone is not sufficient, or when additional blood sugar control is needed.

How Does Accuglim M2 Works?
