Glitaray M-1mg Plus Tablet Substitute

Glitaray M-1mg Plus Tablet contains two antidiabetic drugs, namely: Glimepiride and Metformin. Glimepiride works by stimulating cells in the pancreas that produce insulin which helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin PR is a prolonged-release formulation that releases the drug in smaller portions over a longer duration of time. Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood.

You are not recommended to take Glitaray M-1mg Plus Tablet with phenytoin as it may reduce the effect of Glitaray M-1mg Plus Tablet and increase blood sugar levels. However, please consult a doctor before using Glitaray M-1mg Plus Tablet with other medicines.
