Additional Information
Always consult a medical doctor or patient care specialist before using glimepiride tablets.
Indications and Usage
Glimepiride belongs to a class of drugs called sulfonylureas. It is an anti-diabetic drug which works on the pancreas (site of action) to help release insulin. Insulin is a chemical that your body makes to move sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream into your cells. Once the sugar enters your cells, they can use it as fuel for your body.
With type 2 diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin, or it can’t properly use the insulin that it makes, so the sugar stays in your bloodstream. This causes high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). Therefore, glimepiride is used to trigger the pancreatic cells (β-cells of islets of langerhans) which eventually help in releasing insulin from those cells and work in lowering the blood glucose levels.
Contraindications
Glimepiride tablets are contraindicated with people suffering from hypoglycemia and diabetes ketoacidosis.
