Product Benefits

• Effective Glycemic Control: Pride 4mg (Glimepiride) is highly effective at lowering blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes whose condition is not controlled by diet and exercise alone.

• Dual-Action Mechanism: It works by stimulating the pancreas to release more natural insulin and simultaneously increasing the body's peripheral sensitivity to insulin.³

• Reduces Long-Term Risks: By maintaining stable blood sugar, it significantly lowers the risk of severe diabetes complications such as kidney failure (nephropathy), blindness (retinopathy), and nerve damage (neuropathy).⁴

• Once-Daily Convenience: The long-acting 24-hour formula usually requires only one dose per day, typically taken before or with breakfast, which improves patient compliance.⁵

• Synergistic Therapy: Can be used safely in combination with Metformin or Insulin under medical supervision to achieve better blood glucose targets for difficult-to-manage cases.

• Pancreatic Beta-Cell Support: It improves the sensitivity of functioning beta cells to glucose, ensuring insulin is secreted when the body needs it most (during meals).⁶

• Extrapancreatic Benefits: Helps reduce the liver's glucose production, further assisting in the stabilization of fasting blood sugar levels.⁷

• Adjustable Dosage: Available in various strengths (1mg, 2mg, 3mg, 4mg), allowing doctors to fine-tune the treatment to the specific needs of the patient’s metabolic profile.
