Frequently asked questions
Glycomet-GP 1 before or after food?
With breakfast or the first main meal. Taking it with food prevents stomach upset and reduces the risk of low blood sugar.
Glycomet-GP 1 vs Glycomet 500 – what is the difference?
Glycomet 500 is plain metformin. Glycomet-GP 1 adds glimepiride 1 mg, which makes the pancreas release more insulin for stronger sugar lowering but with a chance of hypoglycaemia.
Can I take Amaryl M 1 with alcohol?
Avoid alcohol. It raises the risk of dangerous low blood sugar and lactic acidosis and can cause flushing and vomiting.
What if my sugar goes low on Glycomet-GP 1?
Immediately take glucose tablets, a spoon of sugar or fruit juice, then eat a snack. Tell your doctor if it happens more than occasionally – the dose may need reducing.
