Product Information

• Name: Tolbutamide sodium
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tolbutamide sodium is an oral hypoglycemic agent, belonging to the class of sulfonylureas. It is a synthetic compound derived from the sulfonamide class, specifically designed to stimulate the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells. The mode of action is primarily through the inhibition of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the pancreatic islet cells, which leads to an increase in intracellular calcium concentration and subsequent insulin release.
