glimepiride<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glimepiride is a medicine that lowers blood sugar levels. This medicine belongs to a group of blood sugar-lowering medicines called sulphonylureas. Glimepiride works by increasing the amount of insulin released from your pancreas. Insulin then lowers your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Glimepiride Stada is used for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride Stada is used to treat a specific form of diabetes (type 2 diabetes mellitus ) when diet, physical activity and weight loss alone are not enough to control your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride contained in Glimepiride Stada may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take this medicine if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Glimepiride Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take Glimepiride Stada 2 mg if you are allergic to tartrazine or para-orange (see section 2, Glimepiride Stada contains tartrazine and para-orange).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Glimepiride Stada:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not sure if any of these apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Glimepiride Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lowering the hemoglobin levels, and the degradation of red blood cells ( hemolytic anemia) may occur in patients lacking enzyme et glucose 6- phosphate dehydrogenase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children and young people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Experience with glimepiride treatment in people under 18 years of age is limited. Therefore, this treatment is not recommended in these patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important information about hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you take Glimepiride Stada, you may get hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). See below for more information on hypoglycemia, and its signs and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following factors may increase your risk of developing hypoglycaemia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Signs of hypoglycaemia are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If your blood sugar level continues to drop, you may experience significant confusion ( delirium ), develop seizures, lose self-control, have shallow breathing and a slower heart rate, and even become unconscious. The clinical picture of a sharp drop in blood sugar may be similar to that of a stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment of hypoglycaemia:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The symptoms almost always disappear immediately after consuming sugar, e.g. in the form of sugar cubes, sweet juice or sweetened tea. Therefore, you should always have some form of sugar with you (eg sugar cubes). Sweeteners have no effect. If sugar intake does not help, consult your doctor or seek medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laboratory tests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The sugar level in your blood or urine should be checked regularly. Your doctor may also take blood tests to check your blood counts and liver function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have recently taken or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor may want to change your dose of Glimepiride Stada if you are taking other medicines that may weaken or enhance the effect of Glimepiride Stada on your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following medicines may increase the blood sugar lowering effect of Glimepirid Stada. This may lead to an increased risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar):<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following medicines may reduce the blood sugar lowering effect of Glimepirid Stada. This may lead to a risk of hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar levels):<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following medicines may increase or decrease Glimepiride Stada’s blood sugar lowering effect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride Stada may either increase or decrease the effect of the following medicines<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alcohol may potentially enhance or attenuate the hypoglycaemic effect of Glimepiride Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pregnancy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride Stada should not be used during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are, think you may be, or are planning to become pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Breast-feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride Stada may pass into breast milk. Glimepiride Stada should not be taken if you are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your ability to concentrate and react may be impaired if your blood sugar is low ( hypoglycaemia ), or high ( hyperglycaemia ), or if you suffer from visual disturbances as a result of such conditions. Remember that you can put yourself and others at risk (eg if you drive or use machines). Ask your doctor if you can drive if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharp attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per tablet, ie essentially ‘sodium-free. is next to “sodium-free”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride Stada 2 mg tablets contain tartrazine and para-orange<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These dyes can cause allergic reactions (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recommended dose is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The dose of Glimepiride Stada depends on your needs, conditions and the results of blood and urine tests and is determined by your doctor. Do not take more tablets than your doctor has told you to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Method of administration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g. If a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor, hospital, or the Poison Information Center for risk assessment and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you take too much Glimepiride Stada or take an extra dose, there is a risk of hypoglycaemia (see section 2 for signs of hypoglycaemia ) and you should therefore immediately eat enough sugar (eg a piece of sugar, sweet juice, sweetened tea) and consult a doctor. If a child has accidentally ingested the sugar, sugar should be given with caution to avoid causing dangerous hyperglycemia. Unconscious persons must not be given food or drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a condition with hypoglycaemia can last for some time, it is very important that the patient is monitored until the danger is over. Hospitalization may be necessary, even as a precautionary measure. Show the doctor the box with the medicine, so the doctor knows what was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Severe cases of hypoglycaemia accompanied by unconsciousness and severe nerve failure require urgent medical attention and hospitalization. It is important to make sure that at least one person is always informed, and can call a doctor if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you stop or stop treatment, you should be aware that you no longer have the desired blood sugar lowering effect and that the disease may get worse. Continue to take Glimepiride Stada until your doctor tells you to stop treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact a doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some patients may experience the following side effects while using Glimepiride Stada:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare<\/strong> (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):<\/p>\n\n\n\n These problems usually get better after you stop taking Glimepiride Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Very rare<\/strong> (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Has been reported<\/strong> (occurs in the unknown number of users):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glimepiride Stada 2 mg tablets contain dyes tartrazine and para-orange which may cause allergic reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reporting of side effects<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
