Isryl 2 Tablet

Isryl 2 Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine that contains glimepiride 2 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class, which helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Isryl 2 Tablet is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control and may be prescribed when a doctor wants a tablet strength that can provide a fuller glucose-lowering effect. It is not used for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How it works: Glimepiride in Isryl 2 Tablet helps the pancreas release more insulin after meals and between meals, which lowers blood sugar. As a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract before it starts working.

Because this is Isryl 2 Tablet, each tablet delivers glimepiride 2 mg, which is a common prescription strength for patients who need more than a very low starting dose or a step-up from lower-strength therapy. Since no other Isryl strengths are sold in our range, this specific tablet is the standard option here and should be used only when your doctor has decided that 2 mg is appropriate for you. Some people may notice stronger blood sugar lowering with this strength, so dosing must be individualized.

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Helps lower fasting blood sugar
• Helps reduce after-meal blood sugar
• Used with diet and exercise
• May be combined with other diabetes medicines if prescribed

• Swallow Isryl 2 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day.
• Do not skip meals after taking this tablet, because glimepiride can lower blood sugar too much if you do not eat.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Check your blood sugar as advised by your doctor, especially when starting Isryl 2 Tablet or changing the dose.
• Avoid taking extra tablets because this is a 2 mg strength and accidental extra dosing can increase hypoglycemia risk.

Each Isryl 2 Tablet contains glimepiride 2 mg. The usual frequency is once daily, but your doctor may adjust how often you take it and may raise or lower the dose based on your blood sugar readings; the total daily dose should not exceed the amount prescribed by your clinician. Because this is a 2 mg strength, it may be used when a doctor wants a moderate dose rather than a lower starting tablet, and it should not be self-adjusted.

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