Semi-Amaryl Tablet contains glimepiride (0.5mg). Here's how it works:

• Stimulates Insulin Release: Glimepiride stimulates your pancreas to produce more insulin. The pancreas is a vital organ that helps regulate your blood sugar levels.

• Binds to Sulfonylurea Receptor: Glimepiride attaches itself to a specific receptor on the membrane of your pancreas' beta cells, known as the sulfonylurea receptor.

• Regulates Potassium Channels: By binding to the sulfonylurea receptor, glimepiride manages the movement of potassium ions in and out of the beta cells. This process is essential for the proper functioning of these cells.

• Increases Intracellular Calcium: The regulation of potassium channels leads to an increase in calcium levels within the beta cells. This increase in calcium stimulates the secretion of insulin.

• Store at room temperature, ideally between 25°C.

• Protect from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep out of reach of children for safety reasons.

• Be sure to take the medicine before its expiry date for optimal results.

• Maintain a balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake. This helps manage your blood sugar levels, making Semi-Amaryl Tablet more effective in managing type 2 diabetes.

• Regular physical activity is crucial. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise like brisk walking daily. Exercise helps to enhance insulin sensitivity and control blood glucose levels.
