An older oral diabetes medication belonging to the sulfonylurea class that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin after meals. It was used to lower blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes whose pancreas still produces some insulin. It has largely been replaced by newer sulfonylureas and other diabetes medications with more favorable safety profiles and less risk of prolonged low blood sugar.

क्रिया का तंत्र

Binds to the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) on pancreatic beta cells, closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels and triggering membrane depolarization. This opens voltage-gated calcium channels, leading to insulin exocytosis.
