Glimepiride Tablets
Function and Efficacy
This product is a second-generation sulfonylurea oral hypoglycemic drug. The main mechanism of its hypoglycemic effect is to stimulate pancreatic b cells to secrete insulin and partially increase the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. The speed of binding and dissociation of this product with insulin receptors is faster than that of glibenclamide, and it is less likely to cause severe hypoglycemia.
