Glimepiride is a second-generation sulfonylurea antidiabetic drug used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It stimulates pancreatic beta cells to release insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. Glimepiride is approved and widely used in clinical practice today.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in healthy adult volunteers (both sexes), oral administration, single 2 mg dose.
