Glimepiride response

MedGen UID:
1105342
•Concept ID:
CN437678
•
Sign or Symptom
Drug:
Glimepiride
MedGen UID:
16604
•Concept ID:
C0061323
•
Pharmacologic Substance
A long-acting, third-generation sulfonylurea with hypoglycemic activity. Compared to other generations of sulfonylurea compounds, glimepiride is very potent and has a longer duration of action. This agent is metabolized by CYP2C9 and shows peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonistic activity. [from NCI]
Glimepiride
 
Gene (location): G6PD (Xq28)
