Description
GLIDE 5MG TAB (Glimepiride 5 mg) is a sulfonylurea used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, lowering blood sugar levels. Taken orally, typically once daily with breakfast, it helps control hyperglycemia when diet and exercise are insufficient. GLIDE 5MG is often used alone or with other antidiabetics like metformin. It reduces the risk of diabetes complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, or cardiovascular issues. Common side effects include hypoglycemia, weight gain, and nausea, while serious risks like severe allergic reactions or liver dysfunction require monitoring. It is contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney/liver disease. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, especially when combined with other medications. Consult a doctor for use in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or with kidney issues. Avoid alcohol, as it increases hypoglycemia risk, and maintain a consistent diet to prevent blood sugar fluctuations.
