Amaryl 1 Mg 30 Tablets

Amaryl 1 Mg 30 Tablets

Description:

Amaryl 1 mg 30 tablets is a prescription oral antidiabetic medicine containing glimepiride, a sulfonylurea used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps lower high blood sugar levels by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and improving the body’s response to insulin. Amaryl is typically used as part of a comprehensive diabetes care plan that includes diet, exercise, and regular blood glucose monitoring, and may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications such as metformin or insulin, as directed by a physician.

Indications:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when blood glucose levels cannot be adequately controlled by diet, physical exercise, and weight reduction alone.
• Helps reduce elevated fasting and postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose levels.
• May be used as monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents (e.g., metformin) or insulin, as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
• Aims to reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications associated with poor glycemic control, such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular events, when used as part of a long-term diabetes management plan.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Glimepiride – 1 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (such as fillers, binders, and coloring agents) are present but specific excipient names and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website. Please refer to the official package leaflet for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• The recommended starting dose is usually 1–2 mg once daily, as prescribed by your doctor.
• Maximum recommended dose (according to provided context): 2 mg per day, taken once daily, unless your physician specifically adjusts the dose.
• Take the tablet once daily with food, preferably with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, to reduce the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water; do not crush or chew unless advised by your healthcare provider.
• Your doctor may adjust the dose gradually based on regular blood glucose monitoring, clinical response, and tolerance.
• If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose.
• Use exactly as directed by your physician and do not change the dose or stop the medication without medical advice.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps achieve and maintain better blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
• Stimulates insulin secretion from functioning pancreatic beta cells, improving the body’s ability to utilize glucose.
• Can reduce fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels when combined with appropriate diet and exercise.
• Supports long-term diabetes management and may help lower the risk of diabetes-related complications when used consistently as prescribed.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis (with or without coma), and in those with known hypersensitivity to glimepiride, other sulfonylureas, sulfonamides, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with impaired liver or kidney function; dose adjustment and close monitoring may be required.
• May cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if meals are skipped, caloric intake is reduced, after intense exercise, or when used with other antidiabetic drugs or alcohol.
• Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include sweating, tremor, hunger, palpitations, dizziness, headache, confusion, or blurred vision. Patients should be educated on recognizing and managing hypoglycemia.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Insulin may be preferred during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including other antidiabetics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs, corticosteroids, diuretics, and herbal supplements, as drug interactions may affect blood glucose levels.
• Use with caution in elderly, malnourished, or debilitated patients, and in those with adrenal, pituitary, or severe cardiovascular disease.
• Alcohol intake may enhance or weaken the blood sugar-lowering effect and should be limited or avoided.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision; this is a prescription medicine and must be used under a doctor’s guidance.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), headache, dizziness, nausea, and gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal pain or diarrhea.
• Less common side effects: allergic skin reactions (rash, itching, redness), photosensitivity, or mild elevations in liver enzymes.
• Rare but serious side effects: severe hypoglycemia, jaundice, hepatitis, severe allergic reactions (including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), or blood disorders (e.g., thrombocytopenia, leukopenia). Seek immediate medical attention if any severe reaction occurs.
