GLYREE 1 10

About

Glyree 1 (Glimepiride 1mg) is an oral antidiabetic medication belonging to the sulfonylurea class, primarily used in the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Glimepiride also enhances the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, improving glucose uptake and utilization. It is typically prescribed when diet and exercise alone are insufficient to control blood sugar. This medication helps to achieve better glycemic control, reducing the risk of long-term complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, and nephropathy.
