Medicine Description glimaryl 3mg
Glimaryl 3mg Tablets is a medication that belongs to the class of sulfonylureas, primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes. Its mechanism of action involves stimulating the pancreatic beta cells to produce more insulin in response to blood glucose levels. Glimepiride enhances insulin secretion and also improves the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. This dual action helps to lower blood glucose levels post meals and throughout the day, making it effective in controlling hyperglycemia in individuals with diabetes.
