Jaymaril Tablet 2 mg (Glymepiride)

Adult dose

Individual adjustment for each patient. Swallow whole with more than 1/2 cup of water. This medication is taken orally once a day, before breakfast or immediately before the first meal. The initial dose is 1 mg of glymepiride once a day, which may be increased by 1 mg at intervals of 1 to 2 weeks. Generally, there is little additional effect when the dosage exceeds 4 mg, although in some cases, better metabolic control has been achieved by increasing the dose up to 6 mg (or 8 mg). If an oral dose of 4 mg fails, consideration should first be given to switching to insulin therapy, otherwise, a combination with insulin or other oral diabetes medications may be necessary.

This medication should not be used in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or those in a comatose state. Patients who are allergic to this medication or sulfonylureas, those with severe liver or kidney dysfunction, pregnant or nursing women, patients with severe infections or those undergoing surgery, and individuals with gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea or vomiting should also avoid taking it. There is a high risk of hypoglycemia in the early stages of treatment; therefore, elderly patients, those with poor nutritional status or who skip meals, frequent alcohol consumers, individuals with reduced kidney or liver function, and those with endocrine disorders should be particularly cautious. Patients should be aware of hypoglycemia symptoms and treatment, and it is important to consume sugar immediately if hypoglycemia occurs. This medication can interact with various drugs, so patients taking other medications should inform their doctor or pharmacist. Pregnant or nursing women are advised not to use this medication; switching to insulin therapy is recommended if necessary. Its safety and efficacy have not been established in individuals under 18 years of age, so its use is not recommended. Elderly patients may have decreased kidney function, so care should be taken to adjust the dosage accordingly. In the event of an overdose, severe hypoglycemia may occur; immediate medical assistance should be sought, and glucose should be administered promptly upon the appearance of hypoglycemic symptoms. This medication should be stored out of the reach of children and kept sealed in its original container.
