What is Generic Amaryl used for?
Generic Amaryl (Glimepiride) is an oral medication used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes when diet and exercise alone fail to control abnormally high levels of blood sugar. Like other diabetes drugs classified as sulfonylureas, Generic Amaryl lowers blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. Generic Amaryl is often prescribed along with the insulin-boosting drug Glucophage. It may also be used in conjunction with insulin and other diabetes drugs.
