Description
Glibenclamide performs its effect by stimulating insulin release from the pancreatic beta cells; reducing glucose output from the liver; increasing insulin sensitivity at peripheral target sites. Glibenclamide is a sulfonylurea oral hypoglycemic drug. This medicine works by increasing secretion of insulin from the pancreas, it interacts with sulfonylurea receptors on beta cells or interferes with ATP-sensitive potassium channels on pancreatic beta cells, which increases secretion of insulin. This medicine also increases sensitivity of existing insulin receptors. -
