What this medicine is for
It is a medicine in the “sulfonylurea (oral antidiabetic)” category. Sulfonylureas prompt the pancreas to secrete more insulin; they can lower blood sugar too much if a meal is skipped.
In practice: Helps control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. It is most often a long-term treatment, taken at regular times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on a given day.
