Glinil-M Tablet contains two active ingredients:

Glibenclamide (5 mg): As a member of the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic medications, glibenclamide works by stimulating the pancreatic beta cells to produce more insulin, which in turn reduces blood glucose levels.
Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide class medicine helps in managing hyperglycemia by reducing the production of glucose in the liver, decreasing intestinal glucose absorption, and improving insulin sensitivity in the body.
