Glimirid Tablet 3 mg contains Glimepiride, a potent oral antidiabetic agent belonging to the sulfonylurea class. It is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients who do not achieve adequate blood sugar control through diet and lifestyle modifications alone. Glimepiride helps the pancreas release insulin and enhances the body’s response to insulin, ensuring better glycemic control.
