DIApride 1 Tablet

Description

DIApride 1 Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medicine containing Glimepiride (1mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of medicines known as sulfonylureas, which help to lower blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This medicine works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby improving the body’s ability to utilize glucose efficiently.

By maintaining optimal blood sugar levels, DIApride 1 Tablet helps prevent long-term diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney problems, vision loss, and heart diseases. It is usually prescribed when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood glucose levels.
