WHAT AMGLIDIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Amglidia contains the active substance called glibenclamide which
belongs to a group of medicines
called sulphonylureas used for lowering blood sugar (blood-glucose).
Amglidia is used in newborns, infants and children to treat diabetes
that occurs at birth (known as
neonatal diabetes mellitus). Neonatal diabetes is a disease where the
child’s body does not release
enough insulin to control the level of blood sugar; Amglidia is used
only in patients who still have
some ability to make insulin.
Sulphonylureas like glibenclamide have been shown to be effective in
certain genetic mutations
responsible for the genesis of neonatal diabetes.
This medicine is an oral suspension, to be taken by mouth, which is a
more convenient treatment for
newborns and children compared to regular injections of insulin.
You must talk to a doctor if your child does not feel better or if
he/she feels worse after a few days.

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
AMGLIDIA is indicated for the treatment of neonatal diabetes mellitus,
for use in newborns, infants

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Glibenclamide suspension therapy should be initiated by a physician
experienced in the treatment of
patients with very early onset diabetes.
Prescription instructions
_ _
Care should be taken when prescribing and administering AMGLIDIA to
avoid dosing errors due to
confusion between milligram (mg) and millilitre (mL). It should be
ensured that the proper dose and
strength are communicated and dispensed.
Posology
To avoid exceeding sodium benzoate acceptable daily dose, AMGLIDIA
daily dose should not exceed
1 mL/kg/day. As a consequence, AMGLIDIA 0.6 mg/mL should not be used
for posology higher than
0.6 mg/kg/day.
To limit exposure to sodium benzoate and with respect to the mode of
delivery (1 mL and 5 mL oral
syringes), it is not recommended to use the AMGLIDIA 0.6 mg/mL
strength for posologies higher
than the ones described below:
