Type 2 Diabetes
Initial: 1.25 mg/day if nonmicronized tablets or 0.75 mg/day of micronized tablets
Depending on glucose response, may increase dose by no more than 1.25-2.5 mg (regular) or 0.75-1.5 mg (micronized) every week
May administer maintenance dose of 1.25-20 mg/day (regular) or 0.75-12 mg/day (micronized); for better satisfactory response may divide dose q12hr for patients taking >10 mg/day (regular) or >6 mg/day (micronized)
Dosing considerations
Because the elderly are susceptible to the hypoglycemic effects of glucose-lowering drugs, the question of how tightly glucose levels should be controlled is controversial
Recognizing hypoglycemia in the elderly may be challenging
Monitoring other parameters associated with cardiovascular disease, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, may be more important than normalized glycemic control
Initial and maintenance dosing should be conservative
Use caution in patients with renal insufficiency

Warnings
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity; sulfa allergy
Type 1 diabetes
Diabetic ketoacidosis with or without coma
Coadministration with bosentan; increased risk of hepatotoxicity
Cautions
Risk of hypoglycemia increases when caloric intake is deficient, when more than one glucose-lowering agent used, when ethanol is ingested, or after severe or prolonged exercise; hypoglycemia is also morelikely to occur in elederly patients, malnourished or debilitated patients, and in patients with adrenal and/or pituitary insufficiency, and patients with severe hepatic and hepatic impairment
Concerns for cross-reactivity between agents containing sulfonamide products has been reported for patients with prior allergic reactions to any compound with the sulfonamide structure SO2NH2; an expanding understanding of allergic mechanisms suggest that cross-reactivity between antibiotic sulfonamides and nonantibiotic sulfonamides may not occur or at the very least the potential is extremely low
Caution in pregnancy/lactation
Administration of oral hypoglycemic drugs has been reported to be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality as compared to treatment with diet alone or diet plus insulin; latest studies, however, do not support association
Hemolytic anemia may occur with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency when treated with sulfonylurea agents; use caution and consider a nonsulfonylurea alternative in patients with G6PD deficiency
There are no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with anti-diabetic drugs
Use of glyburide not recommended in chronic kidney disease; metabolism and excretion of glyburide may be slowed in aptients with renal impairment and its active metabolites, causing accumulation in advanced renal insufficiency; prolonged hypoglycemia could occur
It may be necessary to discontinue therapy and administer insulin if patient exposed to stress
Micronized tablet formulation is not bioequivalent to conventional glyburide tablets; when transferring patient to a different glyburide formulation, retitrate the dose
Beta cell destruction may occur following prolonged use of therapy, which may result in loss of treatment efficacy in type 2 diabetes mellitus; discontinue therapy if loss of efficacy occurs in patients who were previously responding to treatment and no contributing factors can be identified
All sulfonylureas are capable of producing severe hypoglycemia
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy category: C
Lactation: Not known if crosses into breast milk; avoid use in nursing women
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology

GLYBURIDE - ORAL
(GLYE-bure-ide)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Diabeta, Glycron, Glynase, Micronase
USES: Glyburide is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. It may also be used with other diabetes medications. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Glyburide belongs to the class of drugs known as sulfonylureas. It lowers blood sugar by causing the release of your body's natural insulin.
HOW TO USE: Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking glyburide and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Glyburide comes in different types of tablets which provide different amounts of the medication. Do not switch between different forms or brands of this medication unless directed by your doctor.Take this medication by mouth with breakfast or the first main meal of the day as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Some patients, especially those taking higher doses, may be directed to take this drug twice a day. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.If you are already taking another diabetes drug (such as chlorpropamide), follow your doctor's directions carefully for stopping the old drug and starting glyburide.If you are also taking colesevelam, take glyburide at least 4 hours before colesevelam.Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it.
