If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Glimepiride. Warnings and precautions: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Glimepiride if: • You are recovering from an injury, operation, infections with fever, or from other forms of stress, inform your doctor as temporary change of treatment may be necessary. • You have a severe liver or kidney disorder . If you are not sure if any of these apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Glimepiride. Lowering of the haemoglobin level and breakdown of red blood cells (haemolytic anemia) can occur in patients missing the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The information available on the use of Glimepiride in people under 18 years of age is limited. Therefore, its use in these patients is not recommended. Important information about hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) When you take Glimepiride, you may get hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Please see below for additional information about hypoglycaemia, its signs and treatment. Following factors could increase the risk of you getting hypoglycaemia: • Undernourishment, irregular meal time, missed or delayed meal or period of fasting • Changes to your diet • Taking more Glimepiride than needed • Having kidneys that do not work properly • Having severe liver disease • If you suffer from particular hormone-induced disorders (disorders of the thyroid glands, of the pituitary gland or adrenal cortex) • Drinking alcohol (especially when you skip a meal) • Taking certain other medicines (see below “Other medicines and Glimepiride”) • If you increase the amount of exercise you do and you don’t eat enough food or eat food containing less carbohydrate than usual. Signs of hypoglycaemia include: • Hunger pangs, headache, nausea, vomiting, sluggishness, sleepiness, problems sleeping, restlessness, aggression, problems with concentration, reduced alertness and reaction time, depression, confusion, problems with your speech and sight, slurred speech, shakiness, partial paralysis, sensory disturbances, dizziness, helplessness • The following signs may also occur: sweating, clammy skin, anxiety, fast or increased heart beat, high blood pressure, awareness of your heart beat (palpitations), sudden strong pain in the breast that may radiate into neighbouring areas (angina pectoris and cardiac arrhythmias) If blood sugar levels continue to drop you may suffer from considerable confusion (delirium), develop fits (convulsions), lose self control, breathing may be shallow and your heart beat slowed down, you may fall into unconsciousness. The clinical picture of a severe reduced blood sugar level may resemble that of a stroke. Treating hypoglycaemia: In most cases the signs of reduced blood sugar vanish very quickly when you consume some form of sugar, e.g. sugar cubes, sweet juice, sweetened tea. You should therefore always take some form of sugar with you (e.g. sugar cubes). Remember that artificial sweeteners are not effective. Please contact your doctor or go to the hospital if taking sugar does not help or if the symptoms recur. Laboratory tests The level of sugar in your blood or urine should be checked regularly. Your doctor may also take blood tests to monitor your blood cell levels and liver function. Children and adolescents Glimepiride is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age.

These can also hide the signs of hypoglycaemia, so special care is needed when taking these medicines Glimepiride may either increase or weaken the effects of the following medicines: • Medicines inhibiting blood clotting (coumarin derivatives such as warfarin). • Colesevelam, a medicine used to reduce cholesterol, has an effect on the absorption of Glimepiride. To avoid this effect, you should be advised to take Glimepiride at least 4 hours before colesevelam Glimepiride with food, drink and alcohol Alcohol intake may increase or decrease the blood sugar lowering action of Glimepiride in an unpredictable way.
