What is Gliben 3MG Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent) to help control blood glucose
as an adjunct to diet and exercise; may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines as prescribed

How Gliben 3MG Tab Works

Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels. This increases insulin secretion and helps lower blood glucose, especially after meals.

Dosage & Directions

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with breakfast or the first main meal. Swallow whole with water; do not skip meals after taking as it may cause low blood sugar. Dose is individualized based on blood glucose/HbA1c; follow your doctor’s instructions.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Lowers high blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
Improves post-meal glucose control
Helps reduce risk of diabetes-related complications when combined with lifestyle changes
Convenient once-daily dosing

Pregnancy

Not recommended; consult doctor (insulin is generally preferred in pregnancy)

Avoid or use with caution (can cause/worsen hypoglycaemia)
