It belongs to the class of drugs called sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. It is important to note that glyburide is typically prescribed alongside a proper diet and exercise regimen to effectively manage type 2 diabetes. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Conditions treated by glyburide

Glyburide is primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels.

How does glyburide work?

Glyburide works by stimulating the release of insulin from the beta cells in the pancreas and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This helps to lower blood glucose levels and improve glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Forms of glyburide available

Glyburide is available as an oral tablet.

Dosage of glyburide

The dosage of glyburide may vary depending on individual factors, such as the severity of diabetes, response to treatment, and other medications being taken. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by the healthcare provider and not exceed the prescribed dose. If you happen to miss a dose of glyburide, it is important to take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is already close to the time for your next scheduled dose, it is best to skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to make up for the missed one.

Directions for glyburide use

Glyburide is typically taken orally with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. It is important to take glyburide exactly as prescribed by the healthcare provider and follow their instructions regarding the dosing schedule and any specific precautions. Store at room temperature away from light and moisture.

Side effects of glyburide

Some common side effects of glyburide include:

• Glyburide works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, which can sometimes cause blood sugar levels to drop too low. Symptoms of severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) include dizziness, sweating, blurred vision, confusion, and shakiness
• Some individuals taking glyburide may experience weight gain as a side effect. This can be attributed to the medication’s ability to increase insulin production, which can lead to increased appetite and subsequent weight gain
• Glyburide can sometimes cause digestive problems such as nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, or stomach pain. These side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own
• In rare cases, glyburide can cause allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or throat. If any of these symptoms occur, immediate medical attention should be sought
• Some individuals may experience increased sensitivity to sunlight while taking glyburide. This can result in sunburn more easily or skin rashes when exposed to sunlight. Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors
• Although rare, glyburide has been associated with liver disease/problems such as jaundice or hepatitis. If any signs of liver dysfunction, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, abdominal pain, or dark urine, occur, medical attention should be sought immediately

Warnings and precautions

• People who have an enzyme deficiency known as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency may develop hemolytic anemia with glyburide. Be sure to talk with your doctor if you have this enzyme deficiency
• Glyburide is contraindicated in people with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
• If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition

Drug interactions 

When considering taking glyburide with other medications, it is crucial to consider any potential drug interactions that may occur. For example, certain medications can increase or decrease the blood sugar-lowering effects of glyburide, leading to either hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Here are some types of drugs that should not be taken with glyburide:

• NSAIDs like ibuprofen, naproxen, or aspirin can increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when taken with glyburide. These medications can also impair the blood-sugar-lowering effects of glyburide, reducing its effectiveness
• Beta-blockers such as atenolol, propranolol, or metoprolol, which are used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions, may mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia. This can make it difficult to recognize and treat low blood sugar levels when taking glyburide
• Medications like hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone, commonly used to treat high blood pressure, can raise blood sugar levels. When combined with glyburide, the risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may increase
• Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, such as phenelzine or tranylcypromine are used to treat depression. Taking them with glyburide can increase the risk of hypoglycemia and may also prolong the effects of glyburide, leading to a higher risk of low blood sugar levels

It is important to always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, or vitamins while taking glyburide. They can provide you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure your safety and manage any potential adverse effects.
