Glimy 4 Tablet

Glimy 4 Tablet is a prescription diabetes medicine that contains 4 mg of glimepiride in each tablet. Glimepiride belongs to the sulfonylurea class and is used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Glimy 4 Tablet should be used along with diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Glimy 4 Tablet works by helping the pancreas release more insulin when blood sugar is high. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract before it starts helping lower glucose levels.

Glimy 4 Tablet is the 4 mg strength of glimepiride, which is a stronger tablet than lower-dose glimepiride products and may be chosen when a doctor needs a larger dose to help control blood sugar. Because there are no other Glimy strengths in our range, this tablet is the available option for patients who have been specifically assessed for the 4 mg dose. It is generally not the first tablet a patient starts on if a lower dose would be safer.

• Type 2 diabetes
• Blood sugar control
• Add-on therapy with diet and exercise
• Long-term glycemic management

• Swallow Glimy 4 Tablet whole with water; do not chew, crush, or split it unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Take it with breakfast or your first main meal of the day to reduce the risk of low blood sugar.
• Take it at the same time each day for consistent blood sugar control.
• Do not skip meals after taking Glimy 4 Tablet, because this medicine can lower blood sugar further.
• Check your blood sugar as advised by your doctor and keep quick sugar on hand in case of hypoglycemia.
• Follow your prescribed dose exactly; do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose.

Each Glimy 4 Tablet provides 4 mg of glimepiride per tablet. The medicine is usually taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal, but the exact dose and schedule are decided by the doctor based on blood sugar response and safety. Do not take more than the prescribed amount; the maximum daily dose is set by your prescriber and may vary from person to person.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Glimepiride may include:

• Low blood sugar, especially if meals are missed or activity increases
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Nausea
• Weight gain
• Weakness or tiredness

• Glimy 4 Tablet can cause hypoglycemia, and the risk may be higher if you are older, eat poorly, drink alcohol, or exercise more than usual.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney or liver disease, because glimepiride may stay in the body longer and increase side effects.
• Do not use this medicine for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• Alcohol can increase the chance of low blood sugar and may make symptoms harder to notice.
• Be careful when driving or using machinery until you know how Glimy 4 Tablet affects you.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, planning surgery, or become ill and are eating less than usual.

• Alcohol can worsen low blood sugar.
• Some antibiotics, antifungals, and other medicines may change glimepiride levels or its glucose-lowering effect.
• Beta blockers may mask warning signs of low blood sugar.
• Warfarin and some other medicines may interact and need closer monitoring.
