GETRYL 3MG TABLET

GETRYL 3MG TABLET contains the active ingredient glimepiride, which is an oral antidiabetic medication used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of drugs known as sulfonylureas. Glimepiride works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin. This helps lower blood glucose levels and maintain them within the target range. GETRYL 3MG TABLET is typically taken orally with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional, and is often used in combination with diet and exercise to manage diabetes.
