Glibenclamide drug description

Glibenclamide pharmacological action

The product releases insulin by stimulating islet cells, and its intensity of action is 200 times that of mesotrione, so the dose used is significantly reduced. Same as tolbutamide but with strong hypoglycemic effect. Promote insulin secretion by pancreatic islet B cells, the prerequisite is that pancreatic islet B cells also have a certain function of synthesizing and secreting insulin; by increasing portal vein insulin levels or directly acting on the liver, inhibit liver glycogen breakdown and glycogenogenesis, Decreased liver production and glucose output; It may also increase the sensitivity of extrapancreatic tissue to insulin and sugar utilization (possibly mainly through post-receptor effects), so the overall effect is to reduce fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose. This product is mainly metabolized by the liver, and is excreted from urine in 50% within 24 hours. The effect can last for 15-24 hours.

Glibenclamide pharmacokinetics

Oral absorption is rapid and complete. The peak time of plasma drug concentration is 2-6 hours, and absorption is not affected by food. However, in recent years, it has been reported that a small dose of glibenclamide is effective before breakfast. The peak time of plasma drug concentration is higher than that of meal. 1h in advance. The duration of action is more than 16 hours, the plasma protein binding rate is about 99%, the apparent distribution volume is 0.3 L / kg, and the plasma half-life is 6 to 12 hours. Glibenclamide is completely metabolized in the liver into two hydroxyl derivatives and another unclear metabolite, of which 4-trans-hydroxyglibenclamide has 15% activity. In 48 hours, 40% of the administered dose can be recovered in feces, and then excretion slows down, and excretion can reach 95% after 5 days. [4]

Glibenclamide caution

Physical weakness, high fever, nausea and vomiting, hyperthyroidism, the elderly. 2. Blood glucose, urine glucose, urine ketone body, urine protein, liver and kidney function should be measured regularly during the medication, and ophthalmological examinations should be performed. 1. Animal tests and clinical observations prove that sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs can cause stillbirth and fetal malformations, and pregnant women should not take them. 2. This class of drugs can be excreted from breast milk, so nursing mothers should not take them to prevent hypoglycemia in infants. Elderly patients and those with renal insufficiency have reduced metabolism and excretion capacity of this class of drugs. This product has a relatively strong hypoglycemic effect. This product is not suitable. Other sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs with shorter action time can be used.

Glibenclamide indications

It is suitable for mild and moderate non-insulin-dependent diabetes with unsatisfactory curative effect. The pancreatic islet B cells of patients have a certain function of secreting insulin, and there are no serious complications. For non-insulin-dependent (adult, obese) diabetic patients. Because it has a long clearance rate and is most prone to hypoglycemia, it should be used with caution in clinical applications, and it can be used in patients who have no obvious effect on blood glucose lowering drugs.

Glibenclamide dosage

2.5 mg orally, once before breakfast or before breakfast and lunch, 1.25 mg for mild patients, one day
Glibenclamide
Take 3 times before meals, and increase by 2.5mg daily after 7 days. The general dosage is 5 to 10 mg per day, and the maximum dosage does not exceed 15 mg per day.
This product is 250 to 500 times stronger than tolbutamide. Easy to produce hypoglycemia, so for mild, moderate and elderly non-insulin dependent diabetic patients, tolbutamide or the product should be started from a small dose;
Switch to other oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin for the use of this product or combined with insulin, see tolbutamide. Oral, 2.5 ~ 10mg each time, take after breakfast. If the daily dose exceeds 10mg, it should be taken twice in the morning and evening; or 5mg daily, 2.5mg each in the morning and before meals.

Glibenclamide notes

1. A small number of patients have symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort, fever, skin allergies, and hypoglycemia, which should be reduced or discontinued.
2. Use with caution in patients with liver dysfunction.
3. Severely decompensated acidosis, diabetic coma, renal insufficiency, diabetic ketosis, and young people, children and pregnant women should not be used.
4. This medicine has a mild diuretic effect.
5. Insulin dependent diabetes with acute complications, pregnancy and liver and kidney dysfunction are contraindicated.

Glibenclamide adverse reactions

Occasionally abdominal or stomach discomfort, fever, skin allergies, hypoglycemia, should be reduced or discontinued. There are gastrointestinal discomfort, fever, skin irritation, changes in blood vision, etc. Improper use of doses can cause severe hypoglycemic reactions, especially if overdose, there is a risk of death and should be corrected in time. Glibenclamide can cause thrombocytopenic purple scar and allergic vasculitis. The product is hepatotoxic and is dose-dependent. Less common adverse reactions are jaundice-free or cytolytic hepatitis, cholestasis-type jaundice, and the symptoms are easily confused with viral hepatitis.

Glibenclamide side effects

Glibenclamide, also known as hypoglycemic, is a western medicine with obvious hypoglycemic effect, but because of the obvious side effects, many patients are not suitable to take this oral hypoglycemic agent. It is especially dangerous to take glibenclamide without knowing it. Taking glibenclamide in large amounts for a long time will eventually cause hypoglycemia and kidney disease in patients, and even cause death. In addition, inducing patients to take medications without the need to control their diet can also lead to patient death.
According to the current level of medical development, diabetes cannot be cured, and there is no so-called specific medicine. The correct treatment method is that the patient must strictly control the diet and use the medicine scientifically under the guidance of a doctor.

Glibenclamide Drug Interactions

This product should not be used with salicylic acids, sulfa drugs, propranolol, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, penicillin, probenecid, butemethan, indomethacin, dicoumarin anticoagulants, methotrexate Equal use, combined use will enhance the effect of lowering blood sugar, causing hypoglycemic response. Chloramphenicol, coumarins, doxycycline, muscle relaxant fenyramidol, butepine, probenecid, and sulfamethoxazole can inhibit the metabolism and excretion of sulfonylureas and prolong the decline. The role of blood sugar.
Salicylic acids, sulfonamides and sulfonylureas compete for plasma protein binding, -adrenaline, monoamine oxygen
beta cells
Enzyme inhibitors, salicylic acids and antidepressants, phencyclamine can inhibit the production of glucose, increase the oxidation of glucose, and stimulate the secretion of insulin. All these drugs can enhance the hypoglycemic effect of sulfonylureas. Sulfonylureas, especially chlorosulfuramide and tolbutamide, can inhibit the degradation of liver's alcoholase, leading to tachycardia, headache, angina pectoris and skin reactions.
When taken with alcohol, it can cause abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, headaches, facial flushing, and hypoglycemia. Combination with beta-blockers can increase the risk of hypoglycemia, and can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as faster pulse rate and increased blood pressure; selective beta-blockers such as atenolol in small amounts (Atenolol) and metoprolol are less likely to cause this.
Chloramphenicol, guanethidine, insulin, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, butepine, oxybuteone, probenecid, salicylate, and sulfonamides can be used at the same time to enhance blood sugar lowering effect. Adrenal corticosteroids, epinephrine, phenytoin, thiazide diuretics, and thyroxine can increase blood sugar levels. When used with this class of drugs, the amount of this class of drugs may need to be increased. When coumarin anticoagulants are used together with this class of drugs, the plasma concentrations of each other initially increase, but the plasma concentrations of each other decrease thereafter, so the dosage of both needs to be adjusted.

Glibenclamide poisoning

Glibenclamide (hypoglycemic, daan therapy) is the second-generation oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent with the longest action and the strongest hypoglycemic effect, which is 100 times that of D-860. Oral absorption, the duration of effect is about 16-24 hours. This product is prone to hypoglycemic reactions, and may have local and systemic allergic reactions, so it should be started from a small dose. The general dose is 2.5-10mg, taken once after breakfast. Adverse reactions and treatment points are the same as those of metsulfenil [5] .

Glibenclamide Expert Reviews

Glibenclamide has been clinically tested in a total of 3149 cases, with an effective rate of 85%, a primary early failure rate of 15%, and application in 2767 patients for 12 to 36 months, and a secondary failure rate of 9%. There is no certain effect on the prevention and treatment of complications of microangiopathy. Glibenclamide has a strong effect. In patients with certain islet function, it has a significant hypoglycemic effect and can reduce fasting and postprandial blood glucose. However, due to its high incidence of hypoglycemia, it is currently generally not used as a drug of choice in clinical practice. However, glibenclamide is cheap and has strong drug action. Many patients are still using it, especially in rural and low-diabetes patients. Pay attention to the dosage of the drug and monitor blood glucose during application to avoid the occurrence of hypoglycemic adverse reactions [4 ] .
