Amaryl 1mg Tablet

Amaryl 1mg Tablet is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It belongs to a class of medicines called sulfonylureas and helps control blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, vision issues, and heart disease.

How to Take
Take Amaryl 1mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor, usually before or with your first meal of the day. Follow the same schedule each day to ensure consistent blood sugar control.

Learn to recognize signs of low blood sugar such as sweating, shakiness, lightheadedness, and hunger. Always carry a quick source of sugar, like glucose tablets, candy, or juice. Alcohol may increase the risk of low blood sugar and should be avoided. Weight gain may also occur in some patients.
