Glymax Tablet 4 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 high blood sugar levels when diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes are not sufficient. It works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas, thereby improving glycemic control.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Glimepiride 4 mg

Mechanism of Action

Glimepiride stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells by binding to ATP-sensitive potassium channels. This leads to cell membrane depolarization, calcium influx, and subsequent release of insulin. The increased insulin helps lower blood glucose levels by enhancing glucose uptake in peripheral tissues and reducing hepatic glucose production.
