DIApride 4 Tablet

Description

DIApride 4 Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication that contains Glimepiride (4mg) as its active ingredient. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines used to control high 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 ability to use it efficiently, thereby helping to lower blood glucose levels.

This medicine is particularly effective for patients whose diabetes is not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, or other oral medications alone. By maintaining proper blood sugar levels, DIApride 4 Tablet helps prevent serious complications such as nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney failure (nephropathy), eye damage (retinopathy), and heart problems.

It is generally prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
