The Clayformin-VGI tablet you're referring to is a combination medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Here's a breakdown of its components and their roles:
Glimepiride 1 mg: This is a sulfonylurea, a class of drugs that helps lower blood sugar levels by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin.
Metformin Hydrochloride (SR) 500 mg: Metformin is a biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity and decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver. "SR" stands for sustained release, meaning the medication is released slowly into the bloodstream.
Voglibose 0.2 mg: This is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that slows the absorption of carbohydrates in the intestines, which helps to reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes.
