Glufast

Glufast Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Glufast is a drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It may stimulate insulin secretion in beta-cells by closing off ATP dependant potassium ion channels.

Glufast belongs to the meglitinide class of blood glucose-lowering drugs. It is approved for use in Japan but has not yet gained FDA approval.

Uses

For the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Glufast is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Post-prandial Blood Glucose, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

How Glufast works

Glufast is thought to stimulate insulin secretion by binding to and blocking ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels (Kir6.2/SUR1 complex, KATP channels) in pancreatic beta-cells. Closure of potassium channels causes depolarization which stimulates calcium influx through voltage-gated calcium channels. High intracellular calcium subsequently triggers the exocytosis of insulin granules.
