Senride Tablet 2 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 glucose levels when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. Senride works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin, thereby improving the body’s ability to utilize glucose effectively.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Glimepiride 2 mg

Indications

Senride Tablet is indicated for:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
• Blood sugar control in patients inadequately managed by diet and exercise
• Combination therapy with other antidiabetic medicines when required

Mechanism of Action

Glimepiride acts on pancreatic beta cells by binding to ATP-sensitive potassium channels. This leads to depolarization of the cell membrane and an influx of calcium ions, which stimulates insulin secretion. The increased insulin helps lower blood glucose levels, especially after meals, and improves overall glycemic control.
