Medicine information
Uses & overview
GLIMITERIS TRIO 0.5/0.2/500 is a triple-combination antidiabetic tablet marketed by Steris Healthcare. It contains Glimepiride 0.5 mg, Voglibose 0.2 mg, and Metformin Hydrochloride Sustained Release (SR) 500 mg. This combination is designed to help manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Each active ingredient works through a different mechanism. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, Metformin Hydrochloride helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, and Voglibose helps slow carbohydrate absorption in the intestine. Together, these medicines support blood sugar management as part of an individualized diabetes treatment plan.

The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by the treating physician according to the patient's clinical condition and treatment response.
