Glymax Tablet 3 mg contains Glimepiride, an oral antidiabetic medicine belonging to the sulfonylurea class. It is used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels when diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient. Glimepiride stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, helping to reduce elevated blood glucose levels effectively.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Glimepiride 3 mg

Mechanism of Action

Glimepiride works by stimulating the beta cells of the pancreas to release insulin. It binds to ATP-sensitive potassium channels on pancreatic beta cells, leading to increased insulin secretion.
