Glyburide belongs to the family of anti-diabetes drugs known as sulfonylureas. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes, where the pancreatic beta cells make insulin, but muscle and other cells in the body are insensitive to it. By releasing more insulin, glyburide helps overcome this insensitivity, allowing cells to take in sugar and use it to produce energy, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
