OBIMET GX 3 is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Metformin and Glimepiride. Metformin helps to control blood sugar levels by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Glimepiride stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, thereby aiding in glucose utilization.
