AMARYL
Glimepiride 1, 2 & 3 mg tablets
Glimepiride 1mg and 2mg are low dose pharmaceutical products; the
challenge is to produce tablets without any weight variation and to ensure
uniform distribution of drug in the granules for each tablet. If not manufactured
properly it may cause variability in doses leading to variability in insulin
secretion which may result in increased hypoglycemia or poor glycemic
control.
Another data proving superiority of Amaryl over other branded generics from
Institution of chemical technology, Mumbai, which is an autonomous
institution. This report proves that Amaryl is superior on important parameters
like- Dissolution limit and disintegration time compared to other brands. Tablet
hardness also got decreased with other brands over one year time, but
Amaryl maintained it. Tablet friability was as per the GMP with Amaryl but not
with other brands.
Stability up-gradation gives confidence about the products quality and Amaryl
is the only glimepiride with three years shelf life.
Amaryl M-Objective
To establish Amaryl M as option that offers predictable results and
predictable safety early in life of patients by establishing following Key
Concepts:
Predictable bioequivalence
Predictable Control through persistence
Predictable Cardio safety
PERSIST Trial
Objective
1. To assess the proportion of patients remaining on Amaryl M therapy
after a period of 6 months in everyday practice
2. Descriptive statistics for reasons of continuation, daily dosages of
Amaryl M, and adverse events were also assessed
Design
1. Observational, multicenter, prospective product registry comprising
patients in India, Indonesia, and Taiwan
2. 1309 T2D uncontrolled on mono or bi-therapy of oral anti-diabetic
treatment, with A1C >7%.
3. Patients were on Amaryl M for a period of 6 months with 3 evaluation
visits at baseline, 3 months and 6 months
Results- PERSISTance
Bioequivalence-Concept
In FDC (fixed dose combinations) though patient compliance is superior, it is
always a challenge to ensure equivalent efficacy as free dose combination of
the same drugs. For this, each of the constituent drug need to have same
pharmacokinetic profile, i.e Cmax, Tmax & Area under the curve, as that of
the comparator (Original) brand. This ensures availability of same amount of
drug as free dose combination, giving desired efficacy & is called to be
Bioequivalent to the free dose combination of these drugs.
Amaryl MV 1mg/2mg.
60% of the family members are worried about the person with diabetes & only
23% of patients follow the diet restrictions. This non compliant behavior of
diabetic patients leads to hyperglycemia with high PPG peaks as Indian food
is high in glycemic index. It is also said that 59% of family members are willing
to be more involved in diabetes care, which may help to optimize outcome in
people with diabetes. To have optimum therapeutic benefits for patients of
T2DM uncontrolled on SU+ Met with PPG >260 & uncontrolled diet,
empower all care givers by giving Amaryl MV , which control Spikes Smartly..
T2DM patients uncontrolled on SU+met with PPG > 260 & uncontrolled diet
along with co-morbid conditions like renal disorders e.g. Chronic kidney
disease , Kidney Injuries, nephropathy and gastric disorders like GI
intolerance , Flatulence, irritation, acidity, diarrhea, constipation .
Amaryl MV dose has to be taken twice daily 20-30 minutes before major meal.
