Medicine Description glybofen 5 mg
glybofen belongs to the class of oral sulfonylurea drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. This drug works primarily by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to increase the secretion of the hormone insulin, which helps the body use glucose better and leads to lowering high blood sugar levels.
What are the ingredients in glybofen?
glybofen contains two active ingredients:
- Glibenclamide: Works by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin.
- Metformin: Works by reducing the liver's production of glucose and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin.
Indications for use of glybofen
glybofen is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults when blood sugar control is inadequate with metformin or sulfonylureas and diet and exercise are required in conjunction with the medication.
What are the dosages of glybofen?
The dosage is determined by the treating physician based on the patient's health condition and response to treatment.
- The tablets are usually taken once or twice daily with meals.
- The prescribed dosage must be strictly adhered to and not changed without consulting a physician.
- The goal of treatment is to achieve the target blood sugar level with the lowest effective dose.
