Amaryl M 1mg Tablet PR

Amaryl M 1mg Tablet PR is an antidiabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It combines two active ingredients, Glimepiride and Metformin, to help control blood sugar levels effectively. Maintaining proper blood glucose levels lowers the risk of long-term complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, nerve damage, and cardiovascular issues.

How to Take
Take this tablet with food, preferably at the same time each day. Your doctor will determine the most suitable dose based on your blood sugar levels and response to treatment. Do not stop taking it without medical advice, even if your blood sugar is under control, as this may increase the risk of diabetes-related complications. Managing diabetes also requires a healthy diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Common Side Effects
The most frequently reported side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Symptoms may include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, headache, and rapid heartbeat. Always carry a fast-acting source of sugar, such as fruit juice or glucose tablets. Other possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, headache, taste changes, and mild respiratory infections. Some patients may notice weight gain.

Precautions
Do not take Amaryl M 1mg Tablet PR if you have type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor if you have heart disease or other health conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use this medicine under medical supervision. Regular blood sugar monitoring and periodic tests of liver and kidney function are recommended.

Uses

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
This combination tablet works by:

• Increasing insulin release from the pancreas (Glimepiride)

• Reducing glucose production in the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity (Metformin)

By controlling blood sugar levels, it helps prevent complications of diabetes and supports overall health when combined with diet and exercise.

How It Works
Glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, lowering blood sugar. Metformin reduces sugar production in the liver, slows absorption of sugar in the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they provide effective blood glucose control.

Safety Advice

• Alcohol: Should be avoided.

• Pregnancy: Consult your doctor before use.

• Breastfeeding: Not recommended; may harm the baby.

• Driving: Blood sugar changes may affect alertness; avoid driving if symptoms occur.

• Kidney/Liver: Use cautiously in mild to moderate kidney or liver disease. Avoid in severe cases.

Missed Dose
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue as scheduled. Do not double the dose.
