Medicine Description diabenor 2mg
Diabenor 2mg Tablets is a medication used in the management of type 2 diabetes. This drug is classified as a sulfonylurea, which functions primarily by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. It binds to specific receptors on the beta cells of the pancreatic islets, effectively enhancing insulin secretion in response to circulating glucose levels. Additionally, Diabenor may also improve insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels without causing excessive insulin release when blood glucose is low. This dual action helps to maintain a more stable blood glucose profile, particularly after meals.
