Amaramet Dosage/Direction for Use

The dosage of antidiabetic drugs should be individualized based on the patient's blood glucose levels. Generally, it should be recommended to initiate the lowest effective dose and increase the dose depending on the patient's blood glucose levels. If sulfonylurea with long t_1/2 has been used before taking Glimepiride + Metformin tablet, adequate monitoring of blood glucose levels should be performed for this.
Mistakes e.g., forgetting to take a dose, must never be corrected by subsequently taking a larger dose.
The highest recommended dose per day should be glimepiride 8 mg and metformin 2000 mg.
When switching from combination therapy of glimepiride plus metformin as separate tablets, Glimepiride + Metformin tablet should be administered on the basis of dosage currently being taken.
Administration: It should be administered once a day before or with breakfast or the 1st main meal.
Patients should be informed that Glimepiride + Metformin tablet must be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed because this is a prolonged-release tablet.
