Glidax-2 – Glimepiride Tablets IP 2 mg

Glidax-2 (Glimepiride) belongs to a class of medicines known as sulfonylureas. It is specifically prescribed for the management of non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes.

Glimepiride works by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin is the hormone responsible for moving sugar from the blood into the cells for energy. By increasing insulin secretion, Glidax-2 helps lower fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of serious diabetes complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. It is highly effective when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes healthy eating and regular physical activity.
