Product Description
GEMSTROKE 1MG is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Metformin and Glimepiride. Metformin is an oral antidiabetic drug that helps control blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Glimepiride, on the other hand, stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, enhancing the utilization of glucose by the body. This combination is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. It helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of complications associated with diabetes. GEMSTROKE 1MG should be used in conjunction with a proper diet and lifestyle modifications as prescribed by your doctor.
