AZULIX 4 TABLET 10 contains glimepiride (4 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Blocking ATP-sensitive potassium channels: Glimepiride binds to these channels present on the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, thus blocking them.

• Cell membrane depolarisation: The blockage of these channels causes the cell membrane to depolarise, which opens up voltage-dependent calcium channels.

• Calcium influx and insulin secretion: The calcium influx into these beta cells stimulates them to secrete insulin.

• Lowering blood glucose: By stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, glimepiride effectively lowers blood glucose levels.

This mechanism of action helps AZULIX 4 TABLET 10 manage blood sugar levels effectively in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
