About Glibenclamide
Glibenclamide (also known as Glyburide in some countries) is a widely used diabetes medication that belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs. It is one of the most commonly prescribed second-line treatments for type 2 diabetes in Nigeria, typically added when Metformin alone is not sufficient to bring blood sugar levels under control. Sold under popular brand names such as Daonil and Semi-Daonil by Sanofi, Glibenclamide works by stimulating the beta cells of the pancreas to produce and release more insulin, the hormone that moves sugar from the blood into the body's cells. It is a highly effective drug that has been used in Nigeria for decades and remains a staple in the management of type 2 diabetes.
