How does K GLIM TRIO 1 MG TABLET work?

K GLIM TRIO 1 MG TABLET is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: Glimepiride, Metformin, and Voglibose.

• Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood glucose.
• Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver, delays the absorption of glucose from the intestines, and enhances the body's sensitivity to insulin.
• Voglibose is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that slows down the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars in the intestine, thereby decreasing the rise in blood glucose levels after meals.
