Glidum 2 Tablet 10 contains glimepiride (2 mg), which acts on your body in two main ways:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Glimepiride binds to specific receptors on pancreatic beta cells in your body. This action blocks potassium channels, triggering a series of reactions that result in increased insulin release.

• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Apart from stimulating insulin secretion, glimepiride also enhances the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin. This increases glucose uptake from the bloodstream and promotes its utilization of energy in muscles and organs.

These dual actions effectively lower blood sugar levels, helping manage type 2 diabetes mellitus effectively.
