\nDrug class: Sulfonylurea (oral antidiabetic agent)<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, glimepiride, belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs.
\nIt works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and by improving the body\u2019s sensitivity to insulin in peripheral tissues such as muscles and fat.
\nThis dual action helps lower blood glucose levels and maintain better day-long glycemic control.<\/p>\n

\nThe usual starting dose is 1 mg or 2 mg once daily, taken with or immediately before breakfast or the first main meal of the day.
\nDepending on blood sugar response, your doctor may gradually increase the dose \u2014 typically up to 4\u20136 mg daily if needed.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water \u2014 do not crush or chew.
\nAlways take the medication regularly and avoid skipping meals to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).<\/p>\n
Side effects:
