amaryl 1mg tablets – Glimepiride 1 mg

Amaryl 1 mg Tablets contain Glimepiride 1 mg, an oral antidiabetic medicine from the sulfonylurea class used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, thereby improving glucose utilization in the body.

This lower dose is typically prescribed to newly diagnosed patients, individuals with mild diabetes, or those sensitive to higher doses of glimepiride. It may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs like metformin or insulin when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

Amaryl 1 mg should be taken once daily before breakfast or the first main meal. It plays a key role in reducing the risk of long-term diabetic complications, including nerve damage, kidney problems, vision impairment, and heart disease.

Possible side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), dizziness, headache, nausea, and mild weight gain. Patients should avoid skipping meals and keep a quick sugar source handy.
