Glimepiride is used in the treatment of:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: It is a long term metabolic disorder. This disease is mainly characterised with high blood sugar level, low insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin production in the body. The main symptoms of this condition include increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger and unexplained weight loss.
Glypride 2, that contains the salt Glimepiride works mainly by stimulating insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. Glimepiride acts by closing potassium channel in beta cell membrane and this leads to opening of calcium channel due to depolarization. This leads to release of insulin through exocytosis.
This drug also has an extrapancreatic effect: the drug improves the sensitivity of peripheral tissue for insulin and also decreases insulin uptake by liver. This drug increases the number of glucose transport molecules in the plasma membrane of muscles and fat cells and thus increases the glucose uptake. Thus this drug reduces the glucose level in the body.
