CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
As an adjunct to diet and exercise in NIDDM (type 2) patients
- In case that the monotherapy with glimepiride or metformin do not
result in adequate glycemic
control
- Replacement of combination therapy of glimepiride and metformin
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
This drug should be administered once or twice per day immediately
before or with the meals.
The dosage may be individualized based on the patient’s current
treatment regimen, efficacy and
tolerability; adequate monitoring of blood glucose levels should be
performed for this. Generally,
it should be recommended to initiate the lowest effective dose and
increase the dose depending on
the patient’s current medication and blood glucose levels. The
initial daily dose of this drug in a
clinical study was glimepiride / metformin hydrochloride 2mg/500mg
which was gradually
increased up to glimepiride/ metformin hydrochloride 8mg/2000mg as per
the blood glucose
monitoring results. Although glimepiride monotherapy generally had
little additional effects when
dosed at 4mg or more a day, some patients showed improved metabolic
control when the dose was
increased up to 6mg (or 8 mg).
When switching from combination therapy, this drug should be
administered based on the dosage
and administration method of glimepiride and metformin hydrochloride
that are being currently
administered in combination.
Although the previous dose was omitted, do not overdose this drug for
the next dose.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS

diabetic patients with a history
of ketonemia), diabeti
