Glimison (glimepiride) is prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes in adults, a common condition where the level of sugar in the blood becomes too high for the body to process. It lowers blood sugar levels and is generally well tolerated by most users. Clinical studies show that glimepiride can even be used safely in patients with cardiovascular conditions but when prescribed to the ederly it should be used with caution.
The active ingredient in Glimison is glimepiride which belongs to a group of medications known as sulfonylureas. These substances help the body increase levels of insulin, which in turn lowers blood sugar levels. Glimepiride is prescribed as monotherapy or single ingredient treatment for type 2 diabetes patients who haven’t been able to control their glucose levels by dietary and lifestyle changes. It can also be used as combination therapy with insulin or metformin.
There are a range of dosages to ensure you get the correct treatment. Glimison slow release tablets are available, so if it’s appropriate for you, you’ll likely be able to control the condition effectively.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body isn’t able to use insulin (a natural hormone that regulates the amount of glucose in your bloodstream) the way it should. This may be because of two reasons: the pancreas isn’t making enough insulin or the pancreatic cells are not responding well to insulin. Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas isn’t able to make insulin.
Glimison can only be used to treat type 2 diabetes. It actively stimulates the cells in the pancreas to increase the production of insulin and helps the body to use insulin effectively. This in turn controls blood sugar levels, decreases the symptoms of diabetes and the risks associated with the condition.
Glimison helps keep your blood sugar levels under control and takes about 2-3 hours to get into its full action. But it is a maintenance treatment and cannot totally cure diabetes. Our doctor will be able to advise you on the best ways to manage diabetes with simple adjustments to your day-to-day life.
To get the maximum benefits of Glimison, it is recommended to make some lifestyle modifications, such as exercising daily, having a healthy diet or avoiding alcohol/smoking.
There are two doses of Glimison: 1mg and 2mg which may be prescribed from the beginning of treatment. Your doctor will be able to advise you on which one to take. The dosage will depend on how high your blood sugar levels are and your overall health condition.
Glimison isn’t available in stronger doses like 3mg and 4mg. Higher doses may be considered if your blood sugar levels are particularly high or the lower doses prove ineffective. Glimepiride with stronger doses are available as Amaryl, Glimulin, Zoryl, Glimfirst and Glimiprex.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions for this medicine to get the best results from the treatment. Glimison can be taken alongside other diabetes medicines safely, although your doctor may want to monitor its effects.
Don’t worry, it happens to everyone at some point. All you need to do is carry on taking Glimison as you would have if you hadn’t missed a dose. That means taking the next dose when scheduled.
Do not take double the amount to make up for the missed dose as this can lead to unpleasant side effects and serious reactions, such as hypoglycemia.
If you’ve taken significantly more Glimison than prescribed, you may experience some side effects like irregular heartbeat, pale skin, anxiety, sweating, hunger or numbness of the tongue, cheek or lips. If you do, consume 1 teaspoon/sachet of sugar to avoid becoming hypoglycemic. After this you should seek immediate medical attention as you might lose consciousness in severe cases.
You should take your medication with you to the hospital so that your treatment can be swift and accurate.
