Glimepiride is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medication
helps your body respond better to insulin produced by your pancreas.
Glimepiride is used together with diet and exercise to treat type 2 (non-insulin dependent)
diabetes. Insulin or other diabetes medicines are sometimes used in combination with glimepiride if
needed.
Glimepiride may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
