How do I take Amaryl?

Take Amaryl with the first main meal of the day. Most patients begin with a dose of 1-2 mg daily, depending on their risk for hypoglycemia. Those with minimal or no risk can begin at 2 mg daily, but high risk patients must start at 1 mg and increase slowly based on glycemic response.

What if I forget to take a dose of Amaryl?

Take the dose that you missed as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the dose that you missed. Do not take extra Amaryl to make up for a missed dose.

What happens if I overdose on Amaryl?

Call the Poison Control line at 1-800-222-1222 or seek medical help if you believe you have overdosed. An Amaryl overdose can trigger hypoglycemia, which can be life-threatening. Severe hypoglycemia is recognizable by extreme weakness, tremors, sweating, confusion, increased heart rate, temporary aphasia, increase in breathing rate, nausea, vomiting, fainting, and seizures or convulsions.

What are the possible side effects of taking Amaryl?
