GLYNASE 5 MG 10 tablets

Glynase

Glynase is a member of the class of diabetes medications known as’sulfonylureas.’ It is used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus. Glynase is used to treat type 2 diabetes in patients who are unable to regulate their blood sugar levels by diet and exercise alone. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is also referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which blood glucose levels are abnormally high. Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Individuals with type 2 diabetes either do not create enough insulin or insulin does not act properly in the body (insulin resistance). Individuals in their middle to late twenties or older are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, often known as adult-onset diabetes.

Glynase contains the active ingredient ‘Glipizide,’ which increases insulin synthesis by boosting insulin release from the pancreas’s beta cells, hence lowering high blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glynase is not indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

Glynase should be taken 30 minutes before food, as taking it with food may cause it to be ineffective. The pill should not be broken, chewed, or crushed; it should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Glynase should be taken at the same time each day. Glynase should not be taken unless a doctor has prescribed it. Glynase should be used for the duration indicated by your doctor, depending on your medical condition. Certain typical adverse effects, such as hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain, may occur in some circumstances. The majority of these adverse effects are temporary and will resolve on their own. However, it is recommended that you visit your doctor if you continue to suffer any adverse effects.

Glynase is ineffective in patients with type 1 diabetes and in the treatment of severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels). To effectively cure your problem, continue taking Glynase for the duration advised by your doctor. Please avoid skipping doses or abruptly stopping Glynase without seeing your doctor, since this may result in elevated blood glucose levels. Take Glynase with caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Children should not be administered glynase. Avoid alcoholic beverages while using Glynase, as they may exacerbate adverse effects. Because glynase may produce dizziness and drowsiness, drive only when you are fully awake. Inform your physician of the medications you are currently taking and your current health status to rule out any unwanted side effects.

Glynase Adverse Reactions

As is the case with all medications, Glynase may have adverse effects, although not everyone experiences them. Glynase is frequently associated with hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), nausea, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects persist.

Adverse Drug Reactions

Glipizide is ineffective in patients with type 1 diabetes and in the treatment of severe hyperglycemia (high blood glucose levels). Glipizide may raise the risk of heart attack or stroke in those who already have heart disease. Glipizide should not be taken if you are allergic to any of its components. Glipizide should be used cautiously if you have renal or liver problems. To effectively treat your disease, continue taking Glipizide for the duration advised by your doctor. Please avoid skipping doses or abruptly stopping Glipizide without seeing your doctor, since this may result in elevated blood glucose levels. Take Glipizide with caution if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Children should not be administered glipizide. Avoid alcoholic beverages while taking Glipizide, as they may exacerbate side effects. When combined with other medications such as NSAIDs, antibiotics, sulfonamides, probenecid, warfarin, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, quinolones, and beta-adrenergic blocking agents, the effect of Glipizide may be enhanced; in such cases, regular monitoring for hypoglycemia (low blood sugar readings) is recommended.

Interactions Between Drugs

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN DRUG CLASSES: Glipizide may interact with aspirin and ibuprofen (pain medications), sitagliptin, canagliflozin, metformin, dulaglutide, liraglutide, and insulin glargine (hyperglycemia medications), furosemide (edema medication), metoprolol (hypertension medication), levothyroxine (hyperthyroidism medication), and warfarin (anticoagulant medication (used to prevent blood clots).

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN FOOD AND MEDICINE: Avoid alcohol consumption when taking Glipizide since it can produce unpleasant side effects.

Glipizide may interact with heart illness, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), gastrointestinal stenosis, diabetic ketoacidosis (abnormal accumulation of acids in the blood), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, hyponatremia (low salt levels), and kidney and liver disorders.

Safety Recommendations

ALCOHOL

To avoid unpleasant side effects, it is recommended that you abstain from alcohol while taking Glipizide.

PREGNANCY

If you are pregnant, do not use Glipizide. During your pregnancy, your doctor may decide to switch you to insulin injections. Glipizide is not suggested during the final month of pregnancy.

BREAST FEEDING

Concern for Patients

Type-2 diabetes mellitus, often called non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic illness in which the body is unable to adequately utilize insulin. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which blood glucose levels are abnormally high. Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Individuals with type 2 diabetes either do not create enough insulin or the insulin they do make is ineffective in performing its role in the body (insulin resistance). Individuals in their middle years or older are most likely to develop type 2 diabetes, often known as adult-onset diabetes. Lack of energy, fatigue, frequent urination, excessive thirst, dry mouth, blurred eyesight, persistent hunger, weight loss, and itchy skin are all symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

FAQs

Glipizide acts by promoting insulin secretion from the pancreas’s beta cells, hence lowering blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Glipizide may occasionally cause blood glucose levels to fall below normal, resulting in hypoglycemia. Monitor your blood sugar levels frequently while using Glipizide. Headache, dizziness, tiredness, shakiness, faintness, confusion, and vision abnormalities are all symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia may occur as a result of prolonged or strenuous exercise, illness, alcohol consumption, or a low calorie diet, or when Glipizide is combined with another antidiabetic medication.

Maintain a healthy diet by consuming carbs such as bread and other goods containing starch and sugar on a regular basis. Consume food on a regular basis and avoid intense exercise for an extended period of time on an empty stomach. Keep sugar candies on hand and consume them promptly if you experience signs of low blood sugar such as extreme hunger, perspiration, fatigue, dizziness, feeling hungry, feeling shaky, or a rapid heartbeat. This will result in a rise in the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood and a return to normal feeling.

Glipizide is used to treat diabetes that is either lifelong or chronic. Therefore, do not abruptly discontinue taking Glipizide without visiting your doctor, since this may result in an increase in blood glucose levels. Continue taking Glipizide for the duration of your doctor’s prescription. Do not be afraid to contact your doctor if you have any problems while taking Glipizide.

Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Glipizide, as it may exacerbate Glipizide’s negative effects.

If you are scheduled for a major procedure or have just experienced a serious infection or illness, diabetic management may be compromised. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns; your doctor may decide to temporarily replace Glipizide with insulin to regulate blood glucose levels.

Glipizide may occasionally impair laboratory test results. Notify the individual conducting the tests that you are taking Glipizide.

Glipizide should not be used if you have diabetic ketoacidosis (too many acids in the blood) or if you have ever had an adverse reaction to glipizide.
