USES OF GLIBEDAC PM 5 TABLET To manage type 2 diabetes (when single drug therapy, diet and exercise alone are not able to control diabetes) HOW GLIBEDAC PM 5 TABLET WORKSGLIBEDAC PM 5 TABLET lowers blood sugar level, where glibenclamide stimulates the secretion of insulin hormone that regulates blood sugar level. Pioglitazone makes liver and muscle cells more sensitive to insulin to make it easier for sugar in the blood to get into the cells and metformin decreases the glucose production in liver (gluconeogenesis) and increases the insulin sensitivity to absorb blood sugar. All these actions together are helpful in maintaining blood sugar level in type 2 diabetes. DIRECTIONS FOR USEAlways take GLIBEDAC PM 5 TABLET as advised by your physician.
