Description
Euglucon 5mg Tablet — Glibenclamide Sulfonylurea
Euglucon 5mg Tablets contain Glibenclamide 5mg, a second-generation sulfonylurea oral hypoglycaemic agent used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It stimulates the pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin, helping to lower blood glucose levels.
This medicine requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
Clinical Uses
- Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone are insufficient
- Blood glucose control in patients with residual pancreatic beta-cell function
- May be used in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents under physician guidance
How It Works
Glibenclamide stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels, causing depolarisation and calcium influx. This insulin-secretagogue mechanism lowers blood glucose levels effectively in type 2 diabetes.
Important Information
- Risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) — monitor glucose levels regularly
- Not for use in type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis
- Use with caution in elderly patients and those with renal or hepatic impairment
- Do not skip meals while on this medication to avoid hypoglycaemia
