Gluconorm G2 D Tablet

Gluconorm G2 D Tablet belongs to the class of ‘antidiabetics’, primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. It occurs when the insulin (a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas) is resistant in breaking the glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance), or the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) produces little or no insulin at all. 

Gluconorm G2 D Tablet is composed of Glimepiride, Metformin, and Vitamin D3. Glimepiride belongs to the class of sulfonylureas and works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, thus regulating blood sugar levels. Metformin belongs to the class of biguanides and manages blood sugar levels. It exhibits a non-pancreatic effect to reduce blood glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. Vitamin D3/Cholecalciferol improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reduces the risk of insulin resistance.

Metformin exhibits a nonpancreatic effect to reduce blood glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. It is also known as an insulin sensitizer as it increases the effects of insulin. Vitamin D3/Cholecalciferol improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reduces the risk of insulin resistance. It may also help regulate the production of insulin in the pancreas.
