turguoise oval tablet 3 22 one side, RDY on other side is different than the lt. blue round pills with 9 3 and 72 56 on them from different pharmacy. oval pills causing lethargy, both were supposed to be generic for amaryl. could 4mg dosage be wrong? ## No, the 4mg dose is not incorrect. Both are 4mg Glimepiride. Not all generics always release the medication exactly the same. Perhaps your system just cant handle the one form. I would talk to the pharmacist or go to a pharmacy that carries the generic that works best with your system.

I usually have my prescriptions filled at Walgreens but recently switched to express scripts. I have noticed that the numbers on my pills have changed from:Oval BLUE TABLET SIDE 1: AHI 4 to OVAL BLUE Tablet Marking: RDY/3 22. Does this mean the express script Glimepiride isn’t as good/or will have a different effect on me? ## No, it just means it has been manufactured by a different pharmaceutical company. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, stomach pain, and diarrhea. How are you doing on the new one? Has there been any change?

HOW MANY MINUTES BEFORE MEAL GLIMEPIRIDE 2 MG TO BE TAKEN SIMILARLY METFORMIN TIMING ## Glimepiride and Metformin are both oral antidiabetic medications.

what are the differences between gluconorm sustained release and 500mg aand extended release ## There would actually be no different in these, both sustained release and extended release mean the same thing, that it's a controlled release formulation of the medications. Rather than releasing the medications, all at once, as regular tablets do, there are specially made to slowly release over time to help better control your blood sugar. Are there any other questions or comments?

My dad has been taking tablets that are a combination of Glimepiride + Metformin HCI. Is it possible that he shift to taking just Metformin HCI (of the same dosage)? or is it also possible that the two substances: Glimepiride and Metformin HCI be taken separately (one pill for Glimepiride and another pill for Metformin HCI)? ## I take them separate 1000 mg Metformin twice a day and Glimepiride 2mg before meals.

I was prescribed JANUMET XR 1000/50 MG 2 TABLETS in the morning before breakfast and 2mg GLIMEPIRIDE after breakfast.

How are you? Yes, you should double check with the doctor, but it seems that he meant to replace your other medications with the Glycomet GP1, since it contains Metformin and Glimepiride. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and low blood sugar. What are your normal sugar levels? Were they not in control with the Janumet XR?

I am 59 years old and have had type 2 diabetes for ~5 years. I've just relocated from Texas to California and am between doctors. I'm 5'5", weigh 260 lbs, and recently started to have extremely low (30) blood sugars at night. I've been taking 2 x 500 mg Metformin and 1 x 2 mg Glimepiride after breakfast and after dinner. What can/should I decrease? ## Hello, Joe! How are you? What type of foods do you eat? Have you tried having a small snack, before bed? Have you gotten into a new doctor, yet? That would be the best thing to do, rather than trying to adjust your medications on your own. You are diabetic, so you need to have things checked out by a doctor regularly. Do you get a lot of exercise?
