Medical Overview
Amaryl is listed as Antidiabetic containing Glimepiride. A diabetes medicine that lowers blood glucose or improves insulin response.
Amaryl (glimepiride) is the modern once-daily sulfonylurea — potent, simple, inexpensive. Its price is vigilance: hypoglycemia can be delayed and prolonged (especially in the elderly and renal impairment). Real meal after the tablet, fast sugar in the pocket, gentler targets for the frail.
