Glymax Tablet 2 mg contains Glimepiride, an oral antidiabetic medication belonging to the sulfonylurea class. It is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood glucose levels when diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications are not sufficient. It works by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas, thereby improving glycemic control.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Glimepiride 2 mg

Mechanism of Action

Glimepiride acts on pancreatic beta cells by binding to ATP-sensitive potassium channels, leading to membrane depolarization and calcium influx. This stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas. The increased insulin levels help lower blood glucose by promoting glucose uptake in peripheral tissues and reducing hepatic glucose production.
