- Examples: Glyburide (DiaBeta, Micronase), Glimepiride (Amaryl).

2. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs or Glitazones):
- Decrease the amount of glucose released by the liver and make insulin more effective in muscle and fat tissues.
- Examples: Pioglitazone (Actos), Rosiglitazone (Avandia).

3. Combination Drugs:
- Combine Metformin with other medications for better glucose control.
- Example: Actoplus Met (Pioglitazone/Metformin).
