Product Description
GEMER DS 1MG is a fixed dose combination medication that contains Metformin Hydrochloride and Glimepiride. Metformin Hydrochloride is an oral anti-diabetic drug that helps regulate blood sugar levels by decreasing glucose production and increasing insulin sensitivity. Glimepiride, on the other hand, stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, further aiding in blood sugar control. This combination is typically prescribed for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus to achieve better glycemic control.
