Product Description
GEMER DS 2MG is a fixed dose combination medication that contains Metformin Hydrochloride and Glimepiride. Metformin Hydrochloride is an oral antidiabetic drug that helps regulate blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea derivative that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. This combination medication works by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing glucose production in the liver, and enhancing glucose utilization by the body.

GEMER DS 2MG helps control blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes.
