Glimepiride is an oral medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas. Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels. It is typically prescribed in combination with diet and exercise to control blood glucose levels, especially when other oral medications are not enough. Glimepiride is commonly taken once a day, and its dosage is adjusted based on the patient's blood sugar levels and response to the drug. Common side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), dizziness, or headaches. It is essential to monitor blood sugar levels regularly while using Glimepiride and follow the healthcare provider's instructions carefully.
