Why is Amaryl (Glimepiride)
prescribed?
Amaryl
is an oral medication used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent)
diabetes when diet and exercise alone fail to control abnormally
high levels of blood sugar. Like other diabetes drugs classified
as sulfonylureas, Amaryl lowers blood sugar by stimulating the
pancreas to produce more insulin. Amaryl is often prescribed
along with the insulin-boosting drug Glucophage. It may also
be used in conjunction with insulin and other diabetes drugs.
Amaryl is used with diet and exercise to treat type II (noninsulin-dependent)
diabetes (formerly 'adult-onset'). Amaryl stimulates your pancreas
to make more insulin and also makes your body more sensitive to
insulin. Amaryl may be used with or without insulin.
Glimepiride
is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist
for more information.
