WHAT GLIMEPIRIDE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Glimepiride is one of a group of medicines called oral hypoglycaemics,
which are used for treatment of
diabetes (a disease where the body does not produce enough insulin to
control the level of blood sugar).
Oral hypoglycaemics help control blood sugar level.
The active ingredient in your Glimepiride tablets is Glimepiride.
WHAT GLIMEPIRIDE IS USED FOR:
Glimepiride is used in the treatment of non-insulin dependent (Type
II) diabetes mellitus. You get diabetes
if your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the level of
glucose in your blood. Type II
diabetes can sometimes be controlled by good diet, physical exercise
and weight reduction alone, but
where this is not possible, Glimepiride is used in addition.
