In Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
GLYBIR VM2 Tablet is a medicine that helps control high blood glucose (sugar) levels. It helps to slow down the breakdown of food in our intestines to simple glucose (sugar), thereby decreasing the rise in blood glucose levels after meals. It also helps get rid of extra glucose from your body through urine. Lowering blood glucose levels is an essential part of managing diabetes. If you can control the level, you will reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes, such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems, and loss of limbs.

GLYBIR VM2 Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: glimepiride, metformin, and voglibose. They work by different mechanisms to provide better control of blood sugar when single or dual therapy is not effective. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower the blood glucose. Metformin is a biguanide that lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of complex sugars into simple sugars such as glucose. This prevents the blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels after meals.
