How Glimeton M Tablet works
Glimeton M 500mg/2mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Metformin and Gemigliptin. Metformin is an anti-diabetic medication (biguanide). It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

This reduces both fasting and postmeal sugar levels. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.
