Iraq has taken a major step in local medicine production by launching Glimee-M Iraq tablets. This diabetes medication now comes from the Samarra-based General Company for the Manufacture of Medicines and Medical Supplies. The firm works under the Ministry of Industry and Minerals.
This milestone marks the first time Glimee-M has been manufactured inside Iraq. The medicine helps patients manage type 2 diabetes effectively. It also supports the country’s efforts to build self-sufficiency in essential drug production.
The company’s Director General confirmed the tablets meet international quality standards. Moreover, local experts followed strict health protocols during development. Glimee-M Iraq adds a powerful option for diabetes treatment in public hospitals and pharmacies.
Additionally, this achievement highlights Iraq’s growing ability to produce complex medical products. The new tablet combines two active ingredients to improve blood sugar control. These tablets will help thousands of patients across Iraq.
Furthermore, the local production will reduce reliance on imported drugs. This change will lower costs and improve medicine availability for citizens. Iraqi families will benefit from faster and more affordable access to critical medications.
The Director General praised the company’s technical teams for completing the project. These professionals worked with high precision to meet tight deadlines. Their efforts have set a new benchmark for local drug manufacturing.
Glimee-M Iraq will be distributed through official health channels. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Industry and Minerals plans to support additional drug production initiatives. These include treatments for chronic conditions and other essential medications.
In addition, Iraq’s pharmaceutical sector continues to attract investment and innovation. Officials expect more public-private partnerships to emerge soon. These alliances will improve access to life-saving drugs for all Iraqis.
This achievement also strengthens Iraq’s medical independence. The country now produces more medicines at home than ever before. As local factories expand, Iraq moves closer to full pharmaceutical self-sufficiency.
The successful launch of Glimee-M Iraq shows how national industries can support health goals. Iraq continues to advance its healthcare system through local solutions.
