Description:
Glimepiride 1 mg is an oral antidiabetic medication classified under the sulfonylurea group, used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. This effect occurs when blood glucose levels are elevated, making Glimepiride effective in controlling both fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels.
It is generally prescribed for adults who cannot achieve adequate glycemic control through diet, exercise, or metformin alone. Glimepiride is often used as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents like metformin or insulin.
