Amaryl
Amaryl contains the active ingredient glimepiride, which is a type of medicine called a sulphonylurea.
Glimepiride is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
People with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes) have a deficiency of a hormone called insulin.
Insulin is produced by the pancreas and is the main hormone responsible for controlling sugar levels in the blood.
It normally makes the cells of the body remove excess sugar from the blood.
In type 2 diabetes insulin is produced inefficiently in response to surges of blood sugar, eg following a meal.
The cells of the body also become resistant to the action of insulin that is produced, which means that blood sugar levels can become too high.
Amaryl works mainly by stimulating the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin.
These cells are called beta cells.
Amaryl causes the beta cells to produce more insulin and this insulin removes sugar from the blood.
Amaryl also increases the uptake of sugar from the blood into muscle and fat cells and decreases the production of sugar by the liver.
All these actions help to decrease the amount of sugar in the blood of people with type 2 diabetes.
Amaryl tablets are normally taken once a day, shortly before or during the first meal of the day.
Amaryl is a first line option for treating type 2 diabetes in people who are not overweight.
It is used when diet and exercise have failed to control blood sugar levels.
It can also be used in combination with other antidiabetic medicines to provide better control of blood sugar.
Dosage
Adults
The usual starting dose is 1-2 mg taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal.
The maximum starting dose is 2 mg.
If necessary, your doctor will gradually increase the dose 1 or 2 mg at a time every 1 or 2 weeks.
Your diabetes will probably be controlled on 1 to 4 mg daily; the most you should take in a day is 8 milligrams.
If the maximum dose fails to do the job, your doctor may add Glucophage to your regimen.
Weakened or malnourished people and those with adrenal, pituitary, kidney, or liver disorders are particularly sensitive to hypoglycemic
drugs such as Amaryl and should start at 1 mg once daily. Your doctor will increase your medication based on your response to the drug.
Children
Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.
