Glibenclamide is an orally effective hypoglycaemic agent that reduces blood sugar concentration by stimulating secretion of endogenous insulin from the pancreatic β-cells. It stimulates the mobilization of endogenous insulin with a lower dosage and with few incidence of side effects that any available anti-diabetic. Hypoglycaemic action associated with short-term therapy appears to include reduction of basal hepatic glucose production and enhancement of peripheral insulin action at target sites.
