Amaryl, Duetact, Tandemact Generic Name Glimepiride DrugBank Accession Number DB00222 Background First introduced in 1995, glimepiride is a member of the second-generation sulfonylurea (SU) drug class used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to improve glycemic control. Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder with increasing prevalences worldwide; it is characterized by insulin resistance in accordance with progressive β cell failure and long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications that lead to co-morbidities and mortalities. Sulfonylureas are one of the insulin secretagogues widely used for the management of type 2 diabetes to lower blood glucose levels. The main effect of SUs is thought to be effective when residual pancreatic β-cells are present, Glimepiride works by stimulating the secretion of insulin granules from pancreatic islet beta cells by blocking ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K ATP channels) and causing depolarization of the beta cells.

Glimepiride is indicated to treat Contraindications [ ] Its use is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to glimepiride or other sulfonylureas. Adverse effects [ ] Side effects from taking glimepiride include Interactions [ ] Mechanism of action [ ] Like all Not all secondary sulfonylureas have the same risk of hypoglycemia. Glibenclamide (glyburide) is associated with an incidence of hypoglycemia of up to 20–30%, compared to as low as 2% to 4% with glimepiride. Glibenclamide also interferes with the normal homeostatic suppression of insulin secretion in reaction to hypoglycemia, whereas glimepiride does not. Also, glibenclamide diminishes glucagon secretion in reaction to hypoglycemia, whereas glimepiride does not. Pharmacokinetics [ ] Gastrointestinal absorption is complete, with no interference from meals. Significant absorption can occur within one hour, and distribution is throughout the body, 99.5% bound to plasma protein. Metabolism is by oxidative biotransformation, it is 1 metabolite by 1 possesses about 1⁄ 3 of pharmacological activity of glimepiride, yet it is unknown if this results in clinically meaningful effect on blood glucose. M 1 is further metabolized to M 2 metabolite by cytosolic enzymes. M 2 is pharmacologically inactive. Excretion in the urine is about 65%, and the remainder is excreted in the feces.
