Product Overview

Amaryl Tablets 0.5mg are a Japanese-manufactured, strength oral diabetes medication (glimepiride) used to manage blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. This low-dose tablet is ideal for fine-tuning blood sugar control or initiating treatment in patients who may be sensitive to medication, providing a gentle yet effective reduction in blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin.

As a sulfonylurea-class drug, Amaryl increases insulin secretion and may improve the body’s insulin sensitivity, helping to lower blood sugar when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Made in Japan under strict quality standards, this brand-name glimepiride (manufactured by Sanofi) offers trusted efficacy and safety as part of your diabetes management plan.

Dosage Guidelines

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for taking Amaryl 0.5mg. Typically, this medication is taken once daily with breakfast or your first main meal of the day. The 0.5mg strength provides a low starting dose; your doctor might prescribe 0.5mg especially if you are sensitive to medication or have only mildly elevated blood sugar levels. They may gradually increase the dosage (often to 1mg daily or higher) based on your blood sugar readings. In most cases, the maintenance dose ranges from 0.5mg up to 4mg per day, with a maximum of 6mg per day. Swallow each tablet whole with water, and do not change your dosage or stop taking the medicine unless advised by your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

Amaryl 0.5mg, like any medication, may cause side effects. The most common side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) due to its blood sugar-lowering action. Symptoms of hypoglycemia can include hunger, trembling, sweating, dizziness, and confusion. To reduce this risk, take Amaryl exactly as prescribed and avoid skipping meals.

Other side effects may include mild nausea, headache, or slight weight gain. In rare cases, allergic reactions (such as skin rash, itching, or swelling) or more serious adverse effects can occur. Amaryl is intended for adults with type 2 diabetes and is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor for safer alternatives. If you experience severe side effects or signs of very low blood sugar (such as fainting or seizures), seek medical attention immediately.

FAQ

Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
A: If you miss a dose of Amaryl, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual scheduled time. Do not take two doses at once to make up for a missed dose, as this can cause low blood sugar. To avoid missing doses, try to take the medication at the same time each day and consider setting a reminder.

Q: What should I do if I experience side effects or low blood sugar?
A: If you experience mild side effects such as nausea or headache, you can usually continue taking Amaryl, but mention them to your doctor at your next visit. If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) — for example, sweating, shaking, or confusion — you should immediately consume a fast-acting source of sugar (like glucose tablets, candy, or fruit juice). This will help raise your blood sugar back to normal. It’s a good idea to carry a small sugary snack with you while on Amaryl. For any severe side effects or an allergic reaction (such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing), stop taking the medication and seek medical attention right away. Always inform your healthcare provider about any side effects you experience so they can adjust your treatment if necessary.
