Frequently asked questions
Amaryl 1 before or after food?
Take Amaryl 1 just before or with breakfast (the first main meal of the day). Never take it and then skip the meal – that can cause dangerous low blood sugar.
Can I take Amaryl 1 with alcohol?
Avoid alcohol. It can drop your blood sugar unpredictably with glimepiride and hide the symptoms of hypoglycaemia.
What should I do if my sugar drops after Amaryl 1?
Immediately take 15 g of fast sugar – 3 to 4 glucose tablets, half a glass of fruit juice or a spoon of sugar – and recheck after 15 minutes. Then eat a snack. Tell your doctor; your dose may need to be reduced.
Can I take Amaryl 1 with Glycomet (metformin)?
Yes, glimepiride and metformin are very commonly prescribed together. Many Indian brands combine them in one tablet. Follow your doctor's dose for each.
