Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Glimy Mv Tablet contains a combination of metformin, glimepiride and voglibose as active ingredients.
• Insulin moves sugar (glucose) from the blood into the cells. Glimepiride lowers the blood sugar level by increasing the release of insulin hormone from the pancreas.
• Metformin decreases the production of glucose and also reduces its absorption in the body.
• Voglibose reduces the rate of digestion of complex carbohydrates. Less glucose is absorbed because the carbohydrates are not broken down into glucose molecules.
