Disease description:
I went to the hospital today for a blood glucose test, and my doctor prescribed me glibenclamide. What are the effects and mechanisms of action of glibenclamide?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen Xinyan
Glibenclamide primarily exerts hypoglycemic effects and stimulates insulin secretion in the body. As a sulfonylurea-class antidiabetic drug, glibenclamide acts on pancreatic beta cells to enhance insulin secretion and thereby lower blood glucose levels. It is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate diabetes mellitus.
