Start with a dose of 1 mg of glimepiride once a day. If necessary, the dose may be increased by 1 mg at 1-2 week intervals.

Patients should be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia and should consume sugars quickly if hypoglycemia occurs. When taking this medication with other drugs, it may affect blood sugar control, so all medications being taken should be informed to a doctor or pharmacist. Severe hypoglycemia can occur in case of overdose, requiring immediate medical attention, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels as well as liver and kidney function during treatment is essential.
