Amaryl, glimepirideChemical NamesGlimepiride Ingredients Active Ingredients: glimepiride Non-Active Ingredients: lactose (hydrous), sodium starch glycolate, povidone, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate. In addition, Amaryl 1 mg tablets contain ferric oxide red, Amaryl 2 mg tablets contain ferric oxide yellow and FD&C blue #2 Aluminum Lake, and Amaryl 4 mg tablets contain FD&C blue #2 Aluminum Lake. Indications Glimepiride is used, in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program, to control high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea-type antidiabetic that works by stimulating the release of insulin. When insulin is deficient or poorly responded to by the body, as it is in type 2 diabetes, this improves blood sugar without adverse effect. Dosage Available tablet sizes: 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg. There is no fixed dosage regimen for the management of type 2 diabetes – it must be measured by a doctor to match an individual’s body weight, insulin resistance, and other factors. The usual starting dosage is 1-2 mg once daily, administered in the morning with breakfast. This can then be gradually increased to 1 to 4 mg, taken once daily. The maxiumum recommended dose is 8 mg once daily. Amaryl’s efficacy should be monitored by measurement of HbA1c.
