DIApride 2 Tablet

Description

DIApride 2 Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication containing Glimepiride (2mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines, which help control blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The medicine works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and enhancing the body’s sensitivity to it, thereby reducing blood glucose levels.

By maintaining better blood sugar control, DIApride 2 Tablet helps prevent or delay diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney failure, eye problems (retinopathy), and heart disease. It is most effective when combined with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management.
