Antidiabetic drugs are drugs that act in different ways to treat diabetes mellitus. Depending on the active substance, they lower blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production in the liver or its uptake in the intestine, or they stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin. Depending on the drug, different side effects and interactions need to be considered. The indicator in the Swiss Atlas of Healthcare shows antidiabetic drugs dispensed by outpatient care providers.
