Glimepiride 2 mg Tabs- GA
₹53.00
Glimepiride 2 mg tablets are a prescription medication used, in conjunction with diet and exercise, to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Key Information
- Usage: Glimepiride works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps the body use sugar more effectively and thus lowers blood glucose levels.
- Administration: It is typically taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. Tablets should be swallowed whole with liquid and not chewed or crushed.
- Dosage: The typical starting dose is 1 mg or 2 mg once daily. Doses can be adjusted by a doctor based on blood sugar monitoring, up to a maximum of 8 mg per day.
- Monitoring: Regular checks of blood sugar levels (and HbA1c) are essential to ensure the medication is working effectively and to avoid side effects.
Important Precautions & Side Effects
- Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): This is the most common and potentially serious side effect. Symptoms include sweating, dizziness, headache, shaking, and confusion. You should always carry a fast-acting source of glucose (like fruit juice or a sugary snack) to treat this if it occurs.
- Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol, as it can dangerously increase the risk of low blood sugar.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Not generally recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult your doctor immediately if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- Other Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney, or heart disease, or a history of allergic reactions to sulfa drugs, as the medication may not be suitable or require dose adjustment.
- Weight Gain: Mild weight gain is a possible side effect of glimepiride.
Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication to ensure it is appropriate for your specific health needs and conditions.
