Glimepiride

Glimepiride is a medium-to-long acting sulfonylurea anti-diabetic drug. It is marketed as Amaryl by Sanofi-Aventis and as DIAPRIDE by Micro Labs Ltd. Glimepiride is the first third-generation sulfonylurea, and is very potent.
It is sometimes classified as third-generation,[1] and sometimes classified as second-generation.[2]


Amaryl is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medication helps your body respond better to insulin produced by your pancreas.
Amaryl is used together with diet and exercise to treat type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes. Other diabetes medicines are sometimes used in combination with this medicine if needed.
