Glyburide tablets, USP is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glyburide tablets are contraindicated in patients with:   - Known hypersensitivity or allergy to the drug. - Diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma. This condition should be treated with insulin. - Type I diabetes mellitus. - Concomitant administration of bosentan. SPECIAL WARNING ON INCREASED RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR MORTALITY The 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. This warning is based on the study conducted by the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP), a long-term prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. The study involved 823 patients who were randomly assigned to one of fo

DESCRIPTION
Glyburide tablets, USP contain a smaller particle size glyburide,
which is an oral blood-
glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Glyburide is a white,
crystalline
compound, formulated as glyburide tablets, USP of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg
strengths for
oral administration. Inactive ingredients: lactose monohydrate,
microcrystalline cellulose,
magnesium stearate. In addition, the 2.5 MG contains FD&C Red No.40
and the 5 MG
contains FD&C Blue No.1. The chemical name for glyburide is
1-[[p-[2-(5-chloro-o-
anisamido)-ethyl]phenyl]-sulfonyl]-3-cyclohexylurea and the molecular
weight is 493.99.
The structural formula is represented below.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ACTIONS
Glyburide appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating
the release of insulin
from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in
the pancreatic
islets. The mechanism by which glyburide lowers blood glucose during
long-term
administration has not been clearly established. With chronic
administration in Type II
diabetic patients, the blood glucose lowering effect persists despite
a gradual decline in
the insulin secretory response to the drug. Extrapancreatic effects
may be involved in
the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs. The
combination of
glyburide and metformin may have a synergistic effect, since both
agents act to improve
glucose tolerance by different but complementary mechanisms.
Some patients, who are initially responsive to oral hypoglycemic
drugs, including
glyburide tablets, may become unresponsive or poorly responsive over
time.
Alternatively, glyburide tablets may be effective in some patients who
have become
unresponsive to one or more other sulfonylurea drugs.
In addition to its blood glucose lowering actions, glyburide produces
a mild diuresis by
enhancement of renal free water clearance. Disulfiram-like reactions
have very rarely
been re
