Introduction

Amaryl M 1mg/500mg Tablet PR belongs to a category of medicines known as anti-diabetic drugs. It is a combination of two medicines, Glimepiride and Metformin, used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Glimepiride increases insulin release from the pancreas, while Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. This combination helps control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. However, it can cause hypoglycemia, especially when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if meals are delayed or missed. Patients should monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and inform their doctor if they experience symptoms like deep or rapid breathing, persistent nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain, as these could indicate lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition.

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Amaryl M 1mg/500mg Tablet PR is to be taken with food.
