Glucovance 250/1.25mg Tablets — Glibenclamide & Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes
Glucovance 250/1.25mg Tablets by Merck combine two proven antidiabetic agents: Metformin 250mg (a biguanide) and Glibenclamide 1.25mg (a sulfonylurea). This dual-action combination provides complementary mechanisms to achieve superior glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Note: Glibenclamide is also known internationally as Glyburide. A valid prescription is required.
