As with any medication, side effects are possible, including low blood sugar, dizziness, and headaches. Amaryl Â® (glimepiride) is a prescription medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes (also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes).
I take Amaryl for diabetes. Recently, my doctor prescribed triamterene for high blood pressure, and now my resting blood sugar is much higher. I've read the drug information, and it says that this medication may cause high blood sugar in diabetics.. In that light, why would my doctor prescribe this medication?
