Product Overview

What Is Glycomet GP Tablet PR?

Glycomet GP Tablet PR is an oral combination medicine used to help manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It contains glimepiride and metformin hydrochloride in a prolonged-release formulation. The exact strength varies by product variant, so check the packaging to confirm the composition.

Composition of Glycomet GP Tablet PR

Glimepiride: Helps the pancreas release insulin, which supports the regulation of blood glucose levels.
Metformin Hydrochloride (PR): Helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. The prolonged-release formulation releases the medicine gradually.
For example, Glycomet GP 1 Tablet PR contains glimepiride 1 mg and metformin hydrochloride 500 mg in prolonged-release form. Other variants are available in different strengths.

How Does Glycomet GP Tablet PR Work?

Glycomet GP Tablet PR combines two active ingredients that help regulate blood glucose through different mechanisms.

Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while metformin helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, these actions support blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Role in Diabetes Management

Glycomet GP Tablet PR may be used when diet, physical activity, and treatment with a single medicine do not provide sufficient blood glucose control. It forms part of an overall management plan that includes balanced meals, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring.
