pharmachologic effect

The drug has an antithrombotic, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic effect.


Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Glibenclamide is an oral hypoglycemic drug related to sulfonylurea derivatives. The mechanism of action of Glibenclamide involves the stimulation of insulin secretion by β-cells in the pancreas, increasing insulin release. Predominantly, efficacy is manifested in the second stage of insulin production. This increases the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to the action of insulin, as well as its connection with target cells. In addition, Glibenclamide is characterized by a lipid-lowering effect and a decrease in blood thrombogenic properties.
Inside the body, fast and complete absorption of the substance from the gastrointestinal tract is noted. Communication with plasma proteins corresponds to almost 95%. The drug is metabolized in the liver, resulting in the formation of inactive metabolites. Excretion occurs mainly in the composition of urine and part of the bile, in the form of metabolites.

    extensive burns;
    injuries and surgeries;
    intestinal obstruction and paresis of the stomach;

Instructions for use Glibenclamide (method and dosage)

Instructions for use of Glibenclamide reports that the dose of the drug is set individually and depends on the age, severity of the disease and the level of glycemia. Tablets are taken orally, on an empty stomach or 2 hours after eating a meal.
The average daily dose set in the range of 2.5-15 mg, with a frequency of taking 1-3 times a day.
Daily doses above 15 mg are rarely used, and there is no significant increase in the hypoglycemic effect. Elderly patients at the beginning of treatment set a daily dose of 1 mg. All transitions from one drug to another, dose manipulation, and so on, must be carried out under the supervision of a specialist.


Overdose

In case of an overdose, hypoglycemia may develop, which can be accompanied by a feeling of hunger, weakness, anxiety, headache, dizziness, sweating, palpitations, muscle tremors, brain edema, speech and vision disorders, and so on.
Treatment involves the urgent use of sugar, fruit juice, sweet hot tea, corn syrup, honey - in mild cases.
Severe cases require the introduction of a solution of glucose 50%, continuous infusion into a vein of a solution of Dextrose 5-10%, the introduction of Glucagon intramuscularly, Diazoxide inside. In addition, the necessary control of blood glucose, pH, creatinine, urea nitrogen, electrolytes.


Interaction

Combination of antifungal medications, antifungal able to potentiate hypoglycemia.
Simultaneous use with barbiturates, phenothiazines, diazoxide, glucocorticoid and thyroid hormones, estrogens, gestagens, glucagon, adrenomimetic drugs, lithium salts, nicotinic acid derivatives and saluretics can weaken the hypoglycemic effect.
Means capable of acidifying urine, for example: calcium chloride, ammonium chloride, large doses of ascorbic acid may enhance the effect of the drug. Combinations with rifampicin accelerate inactivation and reduce its effectiveness.


special instructions

It is recommended to treat with caution patients suffering from disorders of the liver and kidneys, with febrile conditions, the pathological functioning of the adrenal glands or thyroid gland, chronic alcoholism.
For the flow of a full-fledged therapeutic process, careful control of the level of glucose in the blood and the excretion of glucose is necessary.

When consciousness is restored, the patient is immediately given food saturated with carbohydrates to avoid repeated hypoglycemia.
