What is GLIMIN?

GLIMIN contains Gliclazide and Metformin. Gliclazide works mainly by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas, causing more insulin to be produced. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. It also increases insulin sensitivity and improves glucose uptake and utilization in muscles. Thus this fixed dose combination GLIMIN helps in decreasing the amount of sugar in the blood of people with type 2 diabetes.

Common side-effects – these affect less than 1 in 10 people who take this medicine	What can I do if I experience this
