Each sustained-release tablet contains Glimepiride 1 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000 mg (Sustained Release).

Diapride M1 Forte Tablets combine Glimepiride, a second-generation sulfonylurea, with sustained-release Metformin Hydrochloride to provide dual-mechanism glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from functioning pancreatic β-cells and also exerts extra-pancreatic effects that improve insulin sensitivity. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and enhances peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. The sustained-release formulation provides prolonged glycemic control, improved gastrointestinal tolerability, and convenient once-daily dosing for enhanced patient adherence.

Diapride M1 Forte Tablets are indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults whose blood glucose levels are inadequately controlled with diet, exercise, and single-agent antidiabetic therapy.

Glimepiride lowers blood glucose primarily by stimulating insulin release from functioning pancreatic β-cells. In addition to its pancreatic action, extra-pancreatic effects contribute to improved insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization. Metformin is an antihyperglycemic agent that improves glucose tolerance by decreasing hepatic glucose production, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. Together, Glimepiride and sustained-release Metformin provide complementary mechanisms that improve both fasting and postprandial glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The recommended dosage is one tablet taken orally once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, or as directed by the treating physician. The tablet should be swallowed whole without crushing, chewing, or breaking. Dosage should be individualized according to the patient's glycemic response and clinical condition.

Diapride M1 Forte Tablets are contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Glimepiride, Metformin, or any component of the formulation. The medication is also contraindicated in patients with acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma.
