GLUCORYL M2 FORTE 15

About

Glucoryl M2 Forte is a combination oral antidiabetic medication prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines glimepiride, a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, and metformin hydrochloride, a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity. This synergistic action helps to achieve better glycemic control than either drug used alone. The "Forte" variant indicates a higher dosage strength, suitable for patients who require more intensive management of their blood sugar levels when diet, exercise, and lower-dose monotherapy or combination therapy have proven insufficient. By targeting different pathways involved in glucose regulation, Glucoryl M2 Forte helps to achieve and maintain optimal glycemic control, thereby reducing the risk of long-term diabetes complications.
