Description
Getryl 4mg tablets contain Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea class antidiabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels. It also enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin, making it more effective in controlling blood glucose levels. Getryl is often used in combination with other antidiabetic medications, such as Metformin, to achieve better glycemic control.
