Glimy 1 mg Tablet 14s is a member of the antidiabetic drug class known as "sulfonylureas," which is used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus and lower elevated blood sugar levels (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus - NIDDM). If your body does not create enough insulin or if your body's insulin does not function as it should, type 2 diabetes may develop. Particularly after meals, insulin is a hormone that aids in lowering blood sugar levels. The Glimy 1 Tablet 14s include glimepiride, which operates on beta cells, the pancreas' insulin-secreting cells, by activating calcium channels on the cells and allowing insulin to leave the cell. This insulin subsequently causes every cell in the body to absorb and use glucose, bringing down elevated blood glucose levels.Disclaimer:For more information contact your physician.
