Pharmacist Advice
Take GLUCONORM exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is generally taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal, according to the prescribed dose. Do not change the dose yourself.
Because Glimepiride can cause low blood sugar, do not skip meals after taking the medicine. Keep a quick source of glucose available if your healthcare professional has advised you about managing hypoglycemia.
Monitor your blood glucose as recommended. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, irregular meal patterns, or are taking other medicines that can lower blood glucose.
Tell your doctor about all medicines and supplements you use, particularly other diabetes medicines. Avoid excessive alcohol because it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
