How Glibenclamide Works:

Stimulates the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells
Insulin allows cells to utilize glucose (blood sugar), thereby lowering blood sugar levels

2.5-15 mg taken once daily with breakfast
Low doses for elderly patients to start
Requires regular lab monitoring and occasional dosage adjustments
Must continue daily long-term management

Side Effects and Considerations:

Risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Allergic reaction with rash, swelling, and trouble breathing (seek emergency care)
May affect mental alertness – use caution when driving
Avoid or limit alcohol use while taking
Inform your doctor of all medical conditions & medications
Not for use in type 1 diabetes management

When taken as prescribed under medical supervision, glibenclamide can help keep blood sugar controlled in patients with type 2 diabetes. Maintaining proper diet, exercise and regular testing are also important factors for optimal management.

The usual starting dose is 2.5 to 5 mg taken orally once daily.
The effective dosage range is generally between 2.5 mg and 15 mg per day.
The maximum recommended daily dose is 15 mg.
Glibenclamide should be taken once daily with breakfast every day to maintain a consistent effect.
Eldery patients often start with smaller doses, such as 2.5 mg daily, to reduce side effect risks.
The dose may be carefully titrated up by 2.5-5 mg at 1 to 2 week intervals based on blood sugar testing results.
Doses higher than 10 mg per day could cause hypoglycemia if patient misses a meal.
If a dose is missed, just take the usual dose the next day - do not double up doses.
Kidney function affects dosage needs - dose reduction may be required.
Work closely with your doctor to find the minimum effective glibenclamide dosage tailored to your diabetes management needs through routine blood work.
