Medicine information
Uses & overview
GLIMITERIS 1 is an oral antidiabetic tablet marketed by Steris Healthcare, containing Glimepiride 1 mg. Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines and helps lower blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas. This medicine may be prescribed to adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when dietary measures and lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to achieve their individualized blood glucose targets. GLIMITERIS 1 supports diabetes management as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring. The 1 mg strength may be selected by a healthcare professional based on the patient's blood glucose levels, medical history, response to treatment, and risk of hypoglycaemia. GLIMITERIS 1 should be used only as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.
