CARBOPHAGE G 2MG FORTE TABLET

Question 1

How does CARBOPHAGE G 2MG FORTE TABLET work?

Accepted Answer

CARBOPHAGE G 2MG FORTE 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.
