Amaryl

Overview:

Amaryl (when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Glimepiride, like glyburide and glipizide, is a "second-generation" sulfonylurea agents. Glimepiride is used with diet to lower blood glucose by increasing the secretion of insulin from pancreas and increasing the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. For concomitant use with insulin for the treatment of noninsulin-dependent (Type II) diabetes mellitus; For the treatment of hyperglycemia that cannot be controlled by diet and exercise in conjunction with an oral hypoglycemic agent

Mechanism Of Action:
The mechanism of action of glimepiride in lowering blood glucose appears to be dependent on stimulating the release of insulin from functioning pancreatic beta cells, and increasing sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. Glimepiride likely binds to ATP-sensitive potassium channel receptors on the pancreatic cell surface, reducing potassium conductance and causing depolarization of the membrane. Membrane depolarization stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels. This increase in intracellular calcium ion concentration induces the secretion of insulin.
