Vitamin B12 deficiency: This can occur with long-term use of the medicine. Monitoring of vitamin B12 levels is recommended.

Abdominal distension: This refers to a noticeable increase in the size of your abdomen.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Amaryl MV Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Consume plenty of water and healthy fluids to avoid dehydration.
Abdominal pain: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes you stomach pain during the day.

Amaryl MV Tablet works effectively thanks to the combined action of three active ingredients:

Glimepiride (2 mg): As a sulfonylurea, glimepiride stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin. It achieves this by binding to specific receptors on the pancreatic beta cells. In addition, glimepiride increases the sensitivity of body tissues to insulin, helping them absorb glucose more efficiently.
Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide-based ingredient works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It also decreases the absorption of glucose from the intestines and enhances the uptake and use of glucose by body tissues. Unlike sulfonylureas, metformin does not cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when used alone.
Voglibose (0.2 mg): This ingredient is an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, which means it slows down the digestion of complex carbohydrates in the small intestine. This action reduces the amount of glucose absorbed into the bloodstream after you eat, helping to prevent a sudden increase in blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Amaryl MV Tablet if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before starting this medicine, as it can cross the placenta and may cause harm to the foetus.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, it's important to discuss this with your doctor before using Amaryl MV Tablet. The effects of this medicine on a nursing infant are not fully known.

Alcohol

Drinking alcohol while using Amaryl MV Tablet is not recommended. Alcohol can intensify the effect of metformin on lactate metabolism and increase the risk of lactic acidosis.

Liver

If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting Amaryl MV Tablet. Patients with hepatic impairment or metabolic acidosis are at an increased risk of developing lactic acidosis with metformin.

Kidney

Caution is advised when using Amaryl MV Tablet if you have kidney health issues. Metformin can accumulate in patients with renal impairment and cause lactic acidosis. The medicine is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2).

Using Machines & Driving

Amaryl MV Tablet may cause hypoglycemia, which can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. If you experience symptoms like dizziness or blurred vision, avoid such activities.

Allergy

Do not use Amaryl MV Tablet if you are allergic to glimepiride, metformin, voglibose, or any other ingredients in the formulation.

Children

Amaryl MV Tablet should not be given to children under 18 years of age without medical supervision and advice from a doctor.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Amaryl MV Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. If you are above 70 years of age, consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Amaryl MV Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Antidiabetic Agents: Medicines like insulin can have their hypoglycaemic effects enhanced when taken with Amaryl MV Tablet, due to the presence of Glimepiride.

Cationic Medicines: Medications like amiloride, digoxin, and ranitidine compete with Metformin, a component of Amaryl MV Tablet, for renal tubular transport systems increasing the risk of lactic acidosis.

Drug-Food Interactions

Certain foods can interact with Amaryl MV Tablet:

High Fibre Foods: Foods high in fibre may decrease the absorption of Metformin from the stomach and intestines, reducing its effectiveness.
