Getformin
Getformin (Glimepiride + Metformin HCl) is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body doesn’t make enough insulin, or the insulin that it makes doesn’t work properly.
This can cause high blood sugar levels, whose diabetes is not adequately controlled with glimepiride or metformin HCl alone, or for those patients who have initially responded to glimepiride or metformin HCl alone and require additional glycemic control.
