Semi Daonil

Uses
Semi-Daonil (Glibenclamide) is used to control blood sugar levels in patients who are suffering from type 2 diabetes. This medicine works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. Because insulin helps to control blood sugar levels, increasing the amount of insulin helps to treat diabetes, thereby reducing the risk of health conditions caused by this condition. Doctors often prescribe this medicine after diet and exercise alone have proven ineffective at controlling blood sugar. In some cases, it may be used together with other medicines.

Dosage and Administration
Semi-Daonil (Glibenclamide) tablets need to be taken as directed by your doctor. Patients are usually told to take it with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. It is essential that you do not take more than the prescribed dosage. While taking this medicine, your doctor may arrange medical appointments to monitor your condition. Remember to attend all scheduled appointments with your doctor.

This medicine will not treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic keto-acidosis.
