Gliquidone

Gliquidone is an oral anti-diabetic medication that belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs. It is used to lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. Gliquidone works by increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors in the body, allowing cells to effectively use glucose for energy. It is typically taken once daily before a meal. Common side effects of Gliquidone may include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), weight gain, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
