Indication & Scope
Diamicron MR® is a prescription sulfonylurea indicated as an adjunct to diet, exercise, and weight management to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when lifestyle measures alone are insufficient. It may be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents, including metformin, DPP-4 inhibitors, and insulin. The modified-release formulation provides sustained glucose-lowering effects with once-daily dosing.
