Suggested Use
Amaryl 2mg is indicated for:
- Management of blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Use as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-diabetic medications (e.g., metformin or insulin) when diet, exercise, and weight reduction alone do not achieve adequate glycemic control.
Dosage:
- Initial Dose: Typically, 1mg once daily with breakfast or the first main meal.
- Maintenance Dose: Gradually increase based on blood sugar monitoring, usually in increments of 1mg, at intervals of 1–2 weeks. The maximum recommended dose is 8mg per day.
- Administration: Take orally with food to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Note: Dosage should be individualized based on blood glucose response.

- Amaryl should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to glimepiride or other sulfonamide derivatives.
- Caution is advised for patients who are elderly or have renal impairment due to an increased risk of hypoglycemia.
- Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential to prevent complications associated with diabetes.
Common side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Weight gain

Patients should report any severe side effects or signs of allergic reactions to their healthcare provider immediately.
