What Experts Say
Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic drugs. It works by stimulating beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin, which lowers blood glucose in people whose pancreas still produces some insulin naturally.
Pakistani physicians often prescribe glimepiride for type 2 diabetes patients who need more than metformin alone, especially given how common diabetes has become across the country in recent years. It is usually taken once daily with the first main meal, since food helps reduce the risk of a sudden drop in blood sugar after the dose is given.
Regular blood sugar monitoring matters with this medicine because hypoglycemia is a known risk, particularly in elderly patients, those with irregular meal patterns, or people who skip meals during periods of religious fasting such as Ramadan. Doctors usually raise the dose slowly and review kidney function from time to time.
