PRODUCT DETAILS
About Gemmin P 2mg/500mg/15mg Tablet
GLIMEPIRIDE+METFORMIN+PIOGLITAZONE belongs to the group of medications called ‘antidiabetic agents’ used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic or life-long condition in which blood sugar or glucose levels rise more than normal. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (metabolizes glucose), or if produced, it cannot function properly in the body.

Medicinal Benefits of Gemmin P 2mg/500mg/15mg Tablet
GLIMEPIRIDE+METFORMIN+PIOGLITAZONE contains Metformin, Glimepiride, and Pioglitazone. GLIMEPIRIDE+METFORMIN+PIOGLITAZONE is given when single or dual therapy of hypoglycemic agents is not effective in diabetes patients. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. Glimepiride acts by increasing the secretion of insulin by the pancreas. Pioglitazone works by decreasing the amount of glucose released by the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat.
