Short answer: The glimepiride tablets label has no missed-dose instructions and no patient leaflet. It says glimepiride is taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, and it warns that glimepiride can cause low blood sugar. It does not say whether a late dose should be taken. Ask your prescriber or pharmacist what to do.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Once daily with breakfast or the first main meal; 1 mg to 8 mg (2.1) |
| Missed-dose rule | None in the label |
| Low blood sugar | A warning in section 5.1 |
No. We checked the glimepiride tablets prescribing information from Aurobindo on DailyMed. It has no missed-dose section and no patient leaflet. Section 2.1 says glimepiride is taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day.
Other makers' glimepiride tablets, and the Amaryl brand, have their own labels. This page covers this label only.
Section 5.1 warns that glimepiride, like all sulfonylureas, can cause severe low blood sugar. The label ties the dose to a meal (section 2.1). It does not say what to do about a dose that was missed with breakfast, which is a question for your prescriber or pharmacist.
