User Reviews for glimepiride oral

Doc put me on Metiformin, but side effects were to much to handle. Then onto Actos, but after news reported it causes bladder cancer I stopped it. Now I take 2mg Glimepride one a day and no side effects so far. Sugar levels range 80-130. Also on Paleo diet and limited exercise due to rare EIA.

2mg pill with breakfast daily. 4-4.5 hours later is when low BS becomes evident. Time for lunch without fail. Sensible amounts of good food with some exercise (walking) keeps my weight and A1c (5.7-6.1) in check. Using for 9 years. Also affordable. $10.00 for 90 pills.

I started taking Amaryl about three years ago. It was working very well until about 6 months ago. My A1C has gone from 6.2 to 7.5. The drug seems to have lost its effectiveness

The main side effect was severe diarreha

BS had styed 300 to 400 for months taking 2000 mg metformin dr put me on 2 mg each morning along with victoza 1.8 mg along with the 2000 mg metformin BS was down almost immediatly however after a month BS dropped to 50 several times dr changed it to 1 mg in evening no more low BS A1c was 9.2 in Oct now 5.2 very happy!!

I have been on this medication for about 6 months, it has lowered my bs but I have gained some weight, I take 1mg along with 1/2 metformin in the am and 1/2 metformin in the pm-having some issues with yeast infection not sure if it is the meds or something else. Don't like the weight gain.

I took 2 mg 1/2 hour before eating, much nausea, I need to eat something substantial and take the med when I eat, then the nausea stopped. I've had a small amount of itching and a small amount of dizziness, my bs went down in AM from 362, 315, 175, 125. So far so good. I've only been on it one week.

I take glimepiride 8mg in the morning and by late afternoon my sugar drop to acceptable level around 120 (+/-) 10 with Victoza 1.2 mg.

okay i started taking 2mg once daily but had to cut to 1mg because bs was going too low also this drug is very string compared to metformin i took that for a couple of short periods because i was getting severe g.i. distress a nurse told me glimepiride does stuff with fat cells and its harder to lose weight im now doing okay as long as i dont screw up on carbs it just goes to say you may have to change dosages or medicines to get thebs where it should be before and after a meal also i reccomend seeing adiabetic counselor and they can realy provide you with infoRead More Read Less

This medication gives me headaches and trembeling of my hands. It works better than the metphormin I was on. The dr. told me this has higher risks so a I am a lil worried about this medication. I don't understand why he doesn't have me checking my glucose levels.

Taking 1mg at this time-will reduce to 1/2 because of short term dizzyness.

Easy to use, haven't experienced any problems with side effects.
