Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Qinghui
Glimepiride orally disintegrating tablets exert a blood glucose–lowering effect. This medication is a long-acting sulfonylurea antidiabetic drug. For patients with type 2 diabetes whose blood glucose levels remain inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone, glimepiride orally disintegrating tablets may be administered orally—under the guidance of a qualified physician—as part of a rational glycemic control regimen. Upon administration, the drug effectively lowers blood glucose levels by inhibiting hepatic glucose production and stimulating insulin secretion.
