Description
Glypride 4 mg is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Glypride 4 mg contains Glimepiride as the active ingredient; the medicine is administered orally. Glypride is a prescription treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes. Antidiabetic medicine is prescribed as an addition to proper dietary management, exercise, and weight reduction to lower the blood sugar in patients with Type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar can’t be controlled by diet and exercise alone. To properly control your diabetes, following the diet, exercise, and weight loss program recommended by your doctor is important. Regular monitoring of sugar should be done according to your doctor’s recommendations.
A Glimepiride formulation is often prescribed in combination with metformin when diet and exercise, and Glimepiride or metformin alone do not result in adequate control of blood sugar levels. It is also prescribed for use in combination with insulin to lower blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes. Elevated blood sugar can’t be controlled by diet and exercise in combination with a drug used to lower blood sugar levels.
