Glibenclamide

Uses

Glibenclamide is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is administered alongside diet and exercise to enhance blood sugar control in adults with this condition.

How it Works

How Glibenclamide Works: Glibenclamide is an antidiabetic medication that increases the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower blood glucose levels.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Glibenclamide include hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), nausea, diarrhea, heartburn, stomach fullness, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Expert Advice

Take Glibenclamide shortly before or with the first main meal of the day (usually breakfast).
Avoid skipping meals.
Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you understand how Glibenclamide affects you.
It can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal.
Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemic symptoms such as:

Cold sweats
Cool pale skin
Tremor
Anxiety

Your doctor may check your liver function regularly.
Inform your doctor if you develop symptoms such as:

Abdominal pain
Loss of appetite
Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)

Glibenclamide helps decrease high blood sugar levels and avoid long-term complications of diabetes.
Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medicines (if prescribed) alongside.
Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medicine.
