K-Glim 2MG Tab

Tablet

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (adult) to help control high blood sugar, as monotherapy with diet/exercise or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines (e.g., metformin/insulin) as prescribed.

Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells by closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Increased insulin helps lower blood glucose levels, especially after meals.

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with breakfast or the first main meal. Swallow tablet with water; do not skip meals to reduce risk of low blood sugar. Dose adjustments are based on blood glucose/HbA1c and kidney/liver function.

Hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), dizziness, headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, weight gain, skin rash/itching

May cause hypoglycaemia—risk increases with missed meals, excessive exercise, alcohol, elderly, and with kidney/liver impairment; carry glucose/sugar. Use with caution in hepatic/renal disease; dose adjustment may be needed. Inform doctor if you have G6PD deficiency (risk of haemolytic anaemia). Temporarily withhold/adjust during major illness, surgery, or poor oral intake. Rare but serious: severe allergic reactions, jaundice/hepatitis, blood cell disorders—seek medical help if rash, swelling, breathing difficulty, dark urine, yellowing of eyes/skin, unusual bruising or infections occur. Not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Insulin and other antidiabetics (increased hypoglycaemia), alcohol (increased hypoglycaemia/disulfiram-like reaction), beta-blockers (mask hypoglycaemia symptoms), ACE inhibitors (may enhance glucose-lowering), fluconazole and other azoles (increase effect), macrolides (increase effect), NSAIDs/salicylates (increase effect), sulfonamides (increase effect), warfarin (effect may change), thiazide diuretics and corticosteroids (reduce effect, raise glucose), rifampicin (reduce effect), phenytoin (reduce effect)
