Glimepiride is a generic drug that is available in the form of tablets for easy consumption by simply swallowing it with water. It helps to maintain and reduce the level of blood sugar and is beneficial against type second diabetes. This medication is only effective if it is taken with a proper low sugar diet. Glimepiride can be used in combination with other drugs for improved performance and fast action. It works by assisting the pancreas to release insulin which then moves the glucose to the body cell where it can be used as energy source for the body. Stop the consumption if you notice allergic reactions and consult your doctor immediately.
