How does Glypride Glimepiride work?

It is a third-generation oral hypoglycemic drug that stimulates insulin production from pancreatic beta cells and increases the sensitivity of body cells to insulin. Glimipride binds with the potassium channel and depolarizes the membrane. This, in turn, actuates calcium ion inflow and induces insulin secretion. It aims to increase insulin production from the pancreas and overcome the insulin resistance factor. This way, Glimipride helps control the body's blood sugar levels.
