Indications:
-
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
-
Used alongside diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels
-
Recommended for patients who do not achieve adequate glycemic control with diet and exercise alone
Pharmacology:
Glimepiride, the active ingredient in Amaryl, is a sulfonylurea that works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. Additionally, it enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping the tissues utilize glucose more effectively. This results in better blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
Dosage & Administration:
-
The typical starting dose for adults is 1-2 mg once daily, taken with breakfast or the first main meal of the day.
-
The dose can be adjusted based on blood glucose levels, up to a maximum of 8 mg daily.
-
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage.
Interaction:
-
Increased Effect: Other antidiabetic drugs, alcohol, or drugs that affect liver enzymes can intensify the blood-sugar-lowering effects.
-
Decreased Effect: Medications like corticosteroids, diuretics, or certain beta-blockers can reduce Amaryl's effectiveness.

Consult with your healthcare provider if you are taking other medications.
