Glimepiride 1 mg Tablets Uses
Glimepiride 1 mg Tablet belongs to the group of antidiabetics called ‘sulfonylureas’, which are used to treat Type 2 diabetes Mellitus. Type 2 diabetes, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is a lifelong disease. Insulin is a hormone that regulates sugar in the cells, type 2 diabetes occurs when your body stops producing enough insulin and cells do not respond to insulin properly. Insulin helps the body to control sugar levels in the blood, especially after having a meal. Type 2 diabetes can not be cured, it is a lifelong disease. Glimepiride 1mg Tablet targets insulin-producing cells called beta cells in the pancreas. Glimepiride activated calcium channels on these cells, allowing insulin to pass out of them. This insulin then causes every cell in the body to absorb and use glucose, resulting in a decrease in elevated blood glucose levels. This helps to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes symptoms.
