Introduction

Glucored Forte is a combination oral antidiabetic medication that contains Glibenclamide (a sulfonylurea) and Metformin (a biguanide). This fixed-dose combination is formulated to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially when diet, exercise, or monotherapy are insufficient.

It works through a dual mechanism: Glibenclamide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, while Metformin enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver.
