🔹 Product Overview
Glucoryl-M 2 Tablet is a prescription oral antidiabetic medicine used to help manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
It contains a combination of Glimepiride 2 mg and Metformin 500 mg, two medicines that work through different mechanisms to help control elevated blood glucose levels. The product is marketed by Alkem Laboratories Ltd.
Glucoryl-M 2 may be prescribed when blood sugar is not adequately controlled through diet, exercise, or a single antidiabetic medicine.
🔹 Key Uses
Glucoryl-M 2 Tablet is primarily used for:
Management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Helping control elevated blood glucose levels
Improving blood sugar control when one medicine alone is insufficient
Supporting long-term diabetes management alongside appropriate diet and exercise
Maintaining appropriate blood glucose levels can help reduce the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications.
🔹 Composition
Active ingredients:
Glimepiride 2 mg
Metformin 500 mg
Drug category: Oral antidiabetic medicine
Dosage form: Oral tablet
Therapeutic category: Antidiabetic / Blood glucose-lowering medicine
The combination provides two complementary approaches to blood glucose control.
🔹 How It Works
Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea class and helps the pancreas release more insulin.
Metformin helps reduce glucose production by the liver and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin, allowing glucose to be used more effectively.
Together, these medicines help lower blood glucose levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

🔹 Dosage and Administration
Take Glucoryl-M 2 Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
It is generally taken with food, and taking it at the same time each day may help maintain consistent treatment. The appropriate dose and treatment duration depend on blood glucose levels, response to treatment, kidney function, other medicines and individual medical needs.
Do not change the dose, skip meals intentionally, or stop treatment without consulting your healthcare professional.
🔹 Possible Side Effects
Possible side effects may include:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Stomach discomfort
Headache
Dizziness
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Because Glimepiride can lower blood glucose, symptoms such as sweating, shakiness, hunger, dizziness, confusion or weakness may indicate hypoglycemia and require appropriate attention.
Contact a healthcare professional if side effects are persistent, severe or concerning.
