Senride Tablet 1 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 and exercise alone are not sufficient. Senride works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby improving glucose utilization in the body.

Indications

Senride Tablet is indicated for:
