CARLINA M 2.5/850 MG is a prescription oral antidiabetic medication that combines two active ingredients: Glimepiride 2.5 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 850 mg. It is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, especially in patients whose blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, and monotherapy with either drug alone. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, while Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and works by decreasing hepatic glucose production, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity. Together, they help maintain optimal blood sugar control, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. This combination is typically taken once or twice daily with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects and enhance effectiveness.
