Medicine information
Uses & overview
GLIMITERIS 2 is an oral antidiabetic tablet marketed by Steris Healthcare, containing Glimepiride 2 mg. Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medicines and helps lower blood glucose levels by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. This medicine may be prescribed to adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when dietary measures and lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to achieve their individualized blood glucose targets. Glimepiride supports diabetes management as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring. The appropriate dosage depends on the patient's blood glucose levels, medical history, response to treatment, and risk of hypoglycaemia. GLIMITERIS 2 should be used only as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.
How to use
Take GLIMITERIS 2 exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the prescribed dosage and meal-related instructions provided by your healthcare professional and the product packaging. Glimepiride is generally taken with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, according to the prescribed directions. Swallow the tablet with water as directed. Do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor. Maintain regular meal timings, follow your recommended diet and exercise plan, and monitor blood glucose as advised. If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shaking, dizziness, unusual hunger, or confusion, follow your doctor's recommended hypoglycaemia management plan. Seek medical advice if these episodes recur.
