How does glyburide work?
glyburide is in a class of medications known as sulfonylureas. Sulfonylureas work by telling your pancreas to release insulin, which lowers your blood sugar.

Your provider will work with you to adjust your dose weekly until your blood sugar level is the target range. The typical maintenance dose ranges from 1.25 mg to 20 mg by mouth, either once daily or divided into smaller doses and taken twice daily.
Is it safe for me to take glyburide?
glyburide is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
