If you are looking for ways to control
diabetes, Amaryl
® (
glimepiride) may be an effective medication for your situation. However, Amaryl is not suitable for everyone. To avoid any complications, tell your healthcare provider about any other medical condition you have and any other medicines you are taking (including vitamins, supplements, and nonprescription medications).
As part of a group of
diabetes medications called sulfonylureas, Amaryl works to control diabetes by helping the
pancreas produce more
insulin. It also helps the body's cells respond better to insulin, which results in a decrease in blood sugar levels.
