Uses Of GLIMISAVE MV 3.3 TABLET

  • Used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Benefits of GLIMISAVE MV 3.3 TABLET

1. Controlling blood glucose levels:

  • Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin
  • Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves glucose uptake
  • Voglibose slows down carbohydrate absorption in the intestines

2. Improving insulin sensitivity:

  • Metformin, one of the key ingredients, is known to increase insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin more effectively. This reduces insulin resistance which is a major issue in people with Type 2 diabetes

3. Managing Type 2 Diabetes:

  • Targets different mechanisms of glucose imbalance
  • Reduces the need for multiple separate medications
  • Supports long-term glycemic control when used alongside diet and exercise

How GLIMISAVE MV 3.3 TABLET Works

Glimisave MV 3.3 Tablet contains a combination of three medicines namely, glimepiride, metformin, and voglibose. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar by allowing cells to take in glucose. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improves the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, allowing them to use glucose more effectively. Voglibose inhibits enzymes in the gut that break down carbohydrates into glucose, slowing down the absorption of sugar from food.
