Glysobuzole

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Glysobuzole is a hypoglycemic agent, a type of medication that is used to treat diabetes mellitus. It is classified as a sulfonylurea, a class of drugs that are used primarily for managing diabetes mellitus type 2.

Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]

Glysobuzole works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps to regulate blood sugar levels. By increasing the amount of insulin in the body, glysobuzole helps to lower blood sugar levels.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Like all medications, glysobuzole can cause side effects. The most common side effects of glysobuzole include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. In rare cases, glysobuzole can cause more serious side effects, such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and allergic reactions.

Contraindications[edit | edit source]

Glysobuzole should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It is also contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment or hepatic impairment.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

Glysobuzole can interact with other medications, including beta blockers, diuretics, and corticosteroids. These interactions can affect how glysobuzole works and can increase the risk of side effects.

Dosage[edit | edit source]

The dosage of glysobuzole is determined by the patient's blood sugar levels and overall health. It is usually taken once a day, with or without food.
