Amaryl 2mg Tablet

Amaryl 2mg 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. By doing so, it reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, vision loss, and heart disease.

How to Take
Take Amaryl 2mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor, usually just before or with your first meal of the day. Take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood sugar levels. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your blood sugar readings. Do not stop taking this medicine without medical advice, even if your blood sugar is controlled, as this could cause it to rise again. Along with medication, a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management are essential for controlling diabetes.

Common Side Effects
Some people may experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), nausea, headache, dizziness, or weakness. Recognize signs of low blood sugar such as sweating, shakiness, lightheadedness, or hunger, and keep a quick source of sugar like glucose tablets, candy, or juice on hand. Avoid alcohol as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Weight gain may also occur in some patients.

Precautions
Do not use Amaryl 2mg Tablet if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Regular blood sugar monitoring is recommended, and your doctor may also advise tests to check liver function and blood counts.
