GP 2 Tablet

Product Introduction

GP 2 Tablet is a medication primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. Each GP 2 Tablet contains Glimepiride 2mg as its active ingredient. Glimepiride helps lower blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and increasing peripheral insulin sensitivity. This oral medication is available in tablet form and is typically prescribed alongside diet and exercise to achieve optimal blood glucose control.
