Description

Glyciphage-PG 1 Tablet is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medicine should be used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar
control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. 
Glimepiride works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Thus, insulin helps to remove sugar from the blood. Metformin works by reducing the sugar production by cells in the liver and delays sugar absorption from the intestines. Also, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin which enables these cells to remove sugar more effectively from the blood. Pioglitazone works by increasing the sensitivity of liver, muscle and fat cells to insulin and enables cells to remove glucose from blood more effectively.
