Daonil tablets contain the antihyperglycaemic medication, glibenclamide 5mg which is used to control blood sugar levels.
Type-2 diabetes is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, blindness, kidney failure and stroke. The addition of Daonil to a diabetes management plan of dietary improvements and regular exercise helps to improve the health outcomes for diabetics who have a shorter life expectancy.
Glibenclamide belongs to the sulphonylurea group of medicines which act directly on the beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin to improve blood sugar level control. Daonil is used when exercise and dietary changes alone are insufficient to manage blood glucose levels.
