Introduction

Antidiabetic agent; sulfonylurea.1 2 3 4

Uses for Glyburide

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Used alone or in fixed combination with metformin as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.1 2 3 4 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 158

Used in combination with one or more other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin as an adjunct to diet and exercise in patients who do not achieve adequate glycemic control with diet, exercise, and oral antidiabetic agent monotherapy.1 124 158 162 165 166 168 169 170 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203

Current guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus generally recommend metformin as first-line therapy in addition to lifestyle modifications in patients with recent-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus or mild hyperglycemia because of its well-established safety and efficacy (i.e., beneficial effects on glycosylated hemoglobin [hemoglobin A1c; HbA1c], weight, and cardiovascular mortality).698 704 705

In patients with metformin contraindications or intolerance (e.g., risk of lactic acidosis, GI intolerance) or in selected other patients, some experts suggest that initial therapy with a drug from another class of antidiabetic agents (e.g., a glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] receptor agonist, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 [SGLT2] inhibitor, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitor, sulfonylurea, thiazolidinedione, basal insulin) may be acceptable based on patient factors.698 704

May need to initiate therapy with 2 agents (e.g., metformin plus another drug) in patients with high initial HbA1c (>7.5% or ≥1.5% above target).698 704 In such patients with metformin intolerance, some experts suggest initiation of therapy with 2 drugs from other antidiabetic drug classes with complementary mechanisms of action.698 704

Consider early initiation of combination therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to extend the time to treatment failure and more rapidly attain glycemic goals.704

For patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy, consider patient comorbidities (e.g., atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD], established kidney disease, heart failure), hypoglycemia risk, impact on weight, cost, risk of adverse effects, and patient preferences when selecting additional antidiabetic agents for combination therapy.698 699 704 705 706

Consider early introduction of insulin for severe hyperglycemia (e.g., blood glucose of ≥300 mg/dL or HbA1c >9–10%), especially if accompanied by catabolic manifestations (e.g., weight loss, hypertriglyceridemia, ketosis) or symptoms of hyperglycemia.698 704

Contraindications

Warnings/Precautions

Warnings

Cardiovascular Effects

Increased cardiovascular mortality reported with some sulfonylurea antidiabetic agents (i.e., tolbutamide, phenformin).1 2 63 However, the American Diabetes Association considers the benefits of intensive glycemic control with insulin or sulfonylureas to outweigh the risks overall.128 130 131 138 144 234

Sensitivity Reactions

Dermatologic and Sensitivity Reactions

Possible allergic skin reaction (e.g., pruritus, erythema, urticaria, morbilliform or maculopapular eruptions).1 2 124 Discontinue the drug if allergic reaction persists.1 2 124

Angioedema, arthralgia, myalgia, and vasculitis reported.1 2 124

General Precautions

Hypoglycemia

Severe,1 2 67 68 69 74 105 124 occasionally fatal,67 68 74 105 hypoglycemia reported. Debilitated, malnourished, or geriatric patients and patients with renal or hepatic impairment or adrenal or pituitary insufficiency may be particularly susceptible.1 2 105 124 158 Strenuous exercise, alcohol ingestion, insufficient caloric intake, or use in combination with other antidiabetic agents may increase risk.1 2 96 105 124 Hypoglycemia may be difficult to recognize in geriatric patients or in those receiving β-adrenergic blocking agents.1 2 105 124 158 (See Interactions.)

Loss of Blood Glucose Control

Possible loss of glycemic control during periods of stress (e.g., fever, trauma, infection, surgery).1 2

Temporary discontinuance of glyburide and administration of insulin may be required.1 2

Hematologic Effects

Hemolytic anemia may develop in patients with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency who receive sulfonylureas; consider a nonsulfonylurea antidiabetic agent in patients with G6PD deficiency.1 2 124 158

Macrovascular Outcomes

Manufacturer states that no clinical studies have conclusively established macrovascular risk reduction with glyburide or any other antidiabetic drug.1 2 124

Use of Fixed Combinations

When used in fixed combination with metformin hydrochloride, consider the cautions, precautions, and contraindications associated with metformin.
