Glimet is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Glibenclamide (also known as Glyburide) and Metformin Hydrochloride. This combination is often prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes.

Glibenclamide (Glyburide):

• Class: Sulfonylurea.
• Mechanism of Action: Glibenclamide stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, promoting the uptake of glucose by cells.
• Indication: Used to lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Metformin Hydrochloride:

• Class: Biguanide.
• Mechanism of Action: Metformin primarily reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
• Indication: Metformin is commonly used as a first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
