Glimepiride

Brand name: Amaryl

Generic name: Glimepiride

Why is Glimepiride prescribed?

Glimepiride is an oral medication used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes when diet and exercise alone fail to control abnormally high levels of blood sugar. Like other diabetes drugs classified as sulfonylureas, Glimepiride lowers blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. Glimepiride is often prescribed along with the insulin-boosting drug Glucophage. It may also be used in conjunction with insulin and other diabetes drugs.

Most important fact about Glimepiride

Always remember that Glimepiride is an aid to, not a substitute for, good diet and exercise. Failure to follow a sound diet and exercise plan may diminish the results of Glimepiride and can lead to serious complications such as dangerously high or low blood sugar levels. Remember, too, that Glimepiride is not an oral form of insulin, and cannot be used in place of insulin.

How should you take Glimepiride?

Do not take more or less of Glimepiride than directed by your doctor. Glimepiride should be taken with breakfast or the first main meal.

If you miss a dose of Glimepiride

Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.

Storage instructions for Glimepiride

Glimepiride should be stored at room temperature in a well-closed container.

What side effects when taking Glimepiride may occur?

Side effects of Glimepiride cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Glimepiride.

Less common or rare side effects when taking Glimepiride may include:

Anemia and other blood disorders, blurred vision, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, itching, liver problems and jaundice, muscle weakness, nausea, sensitivity to light, skin rash and eruptions, stomach and intestinal pain, vomiting.
Glimepiride, like all oral antidiabetics, can result in hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The risk of hypoglycemia can be increased by missed meals, alcohol, fever, injury, infection, surgery, excessive exercise, and the addition of other medications such as Glucophage or insulin. To avoid hypoglycemia, closely follow the dietary and exercise regimen suggested by your doctor.

Symptoms of mild low blood sugar may include:

Blurred vision, cold sweats, dizziness, fast heartbeat, fatigue, headache, hunger, light-headedness, nausea, nervousness

Symptoms of more severe low blood sugar may include:

Coma, disorientation, pale skin, seizures, shallow breathing
Ask your doctor what steps you should take if you experience mild hypoglycemia. If symptoms of severe low blood sugar occur, contact your doctor immediately; severe hypoglycemia is a medical emergency.

Why should Glimepiride not be prescribed?

Avoid Glimepiride if you have ever had an allergic reaction to it.

Do not take Glimepiride to correct diabetic ketoacidosis (a life-threatening medical emergency caused by insufficient insulin and marked by excessive thirst, nausea, fatigue, and fruity breath). This condition should be treated with insulin.

Special warnings about Glimepiride

It's possible that drugs such as Glimepiride may lead to more heart problems than diet treatment alone, or treatment with diet and insulin. If you have a heart condition, you may want to discuss this with your doctor.

When taking Glimepiride, you should check your blood and urine regularly for abnormally high sugar (glucose) levels. The effectiveness of any oral antidiabetic, including Glimepiride, may decrease with time. This may occur because of either a diminished responsiveness to Glimepiridel or a worsening of the diabetes.

Even people with well-controlled diabetes may find that stress such as injury, infection, surgery, or fever triggers a loss of control. If this happens, your doctor may recommend that you add insulin to your treatment with Glimepiride or that you temporarily stop taking Glimepiride and use insulin instead.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Glimepiride

If Glimepiride is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered.

It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Glimepiride with the following:

Airway-opening drugs such as Proventil and Ventolin
Aspirin and other salicylate medications
Chloramphenicol (Chloromycetin)
Corticosteroids such as prednisone (Deltasone)
Diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL) and chlorothiazide (Diuril)
Estrogens such as Premarin
Heart and blood pressure medications called beta blockers, including Tenormin, Inderal, and Lopressor
Isoniazid (Nydrazid)
Major tranquilizers such as Mellaril and Thorazine
MAO inhibitors (antidepressants such as Nardil and Parnate)
Miconazole (Monistat)
Nicotinic acid (Nicobid)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil, Motrin, Naprosyn, Nuprin, Ponstel, and Voltaren
Oral contraceptives
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Probenecid (Benemid)
Sulfa drugs such as Bactrim DS, Septra DS
Thyroid medications such as Synthroid
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Use alcohol with care; excessive alcohol intake can cause low blood sugar.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

Do not take Glimepiride while pregnant. Since studies suggest the importance of maintaining normal blood sugar levels during pregnancy, your doctor may prescribe injected insulin instead. Drugs similar to Glimepiride do appear in breast milk and may cause low blood sugar in nursing infants. You should not take Glimepiride while nursing. If diet alone does not control your sugar levels, your doctor may prescribe injected insulin.

Recommended dosages for Glimepiride

ADULTS

The usual starting dose is 1 to 2 milligrams taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal. The maximum starting dose is 2 milligrams.
If necessary, your doctor will gradually increase the dose 1 or 2 milligrams at a time every 1 or 2 weeks. Your diabetes will probably be controlled on 1 to 4 milligrams a day; 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 Glimepiride and should start at 1 milligram once daily. Your doctor will increase your medication based on your response to Glimepiride.

CHILDREN

Safety and effectivenessof Glimepiride in children have not been established.

Overdosage with Glimepiride

An overdose of Glimepiride can cause low blood sugar.

Eating sugar or a sugar-based product will often correct mild hypoglycemia. For severe hypoglycemia, seek medical attention immediately.
