Medicine information
Uses & overview
GLIMITERIS TRIO 0.2 is an oral antidiabetic combination medicine marketed by Steris Healthcare. It contains Voglibose 0.2 mg, Glimepiride 3 mg, and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg. These three active ingredients work through complementary mechanisms to support blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Voglibose 0.2 mg is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor that slows the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine. It helps reduce the rise in blood glucose levels after meals. Glimepiride 3 mg belongs to the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic medicines. It helps lower blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas. Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg belongs to the biguanide class. It helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. This combination may be prescribed when a healthcare professional determines that all three ingredients are suitable for an individual's diabetes management plan. Treatment should be supported by a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring. GLIMITERIS TRIO 0.2 should be used only under medical supervision. Its suitability and dosage depend on the patient's blood glucose levels, medical history, kidney and liver function, current medicines, and response to treatment.
How to use
Take GLIMITERIS TRIO 0.2 exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the recommended dosage and meal-related instructions provided by your healthcare professional and the approved product information. Voglibose-containing medicines are generally taken immediately before meals, while metformin is often taken with meals to improve gastrointestinal tolerability.
