Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Glimepiride orally disintegrating tablets are an antidiabetic medication primarily indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients whose blood glucose levels remain uncontrolled despite diet, exercise, and weight reduction. However, this drug is contraindicated in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment, who should instead be managed with insulin therapy.
