Glyburide

Glyburide is a medication used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, a hormone that lowers blood sugar. By increasing insulin production, glyburide helps your body use sugar more effectively, reducing the risk of high blood sugar levels that can cause complications. It is usually taken once daily, alongside diet and exercise. However, it requires careful management to avoid low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when using glyburide.
