Patients with diabetes should strictly follow the doctor's recommendations.
Especially careful control is needed when choosing a dose or when switching from another hypoglycemic drug. Oral hypoglycemic agents should not replace a therapeutic diet, which allows you to control the body weight of the patient. Skipping meals or not following a doctor's recommendation can significantly reduce the concentration of glucose in the blood and lead to unconsciousness. When taking a pill before meals, and not as recommended, at the beginning of food intake, the effect of the drug on the concentration of glucose in the blood is more pronounced, which increases the risk of developing hypoglycemia.
When symptoms of hypoglycemia appear, you must immediately take food containing sugar. In the case of persisting hypoglycemia, you should immediately consult a doctor.
Physical activity can exacerbate hypoglycemic effects.
Alcohol or stress may increase or decrease the hypoglycemic effect of sulfonylurea derivatives. The use of sulfonylurea derivatives in patients with insufficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase can lead to the development of hemolytic anemia. Since GLUNRENORM refers to sulfonylurea derivatives, care must be taken when using the drug in patients with glucose-b-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and, if possible, it is necessary to decide on the drug change.
One Glutenorm tablet contains 134.6 mg of lactose (538.4 mg of lactose in the maximum daily dose). Patients with rare hereditary diseases: galactosemia, lactase deficiency, glucose-galactose malabsorption and intolerance to lactose, should not take Gluten.
Glikvidon refers to short-acting sulfonylureas and is therefore used in patients with type 2 diabetes with an increased risk of hypoglycemia, for example in elderly patients and patients with impaired renal function.
Since the excretion of glycidone by the kidneys is insignificant, GLUNORROM can be used in patients with renal impairment and diabetic nephropathy. However, treatment of patients with severe renal failure should be carried out under close medical supervision.
There is evidence that the use of glycidone in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus having concomitant liver disease is effective and safe. Only the excretion of inactive metabolites in these patients is somewhat delayed. However, patients with diabetes mellitus and concomitant severe impairment of liver function is not recommended.
During clinical trials, it was found that the use of GLURORORM for 18 and 30 months did not lead to an increase in body weight, even cases of weight loss of 1 to 2 kg were noted. In comparative studies with other sulfonylureas, it has been shown that patients taking GYLRENORM for more than a year do not have significant changes in body weight.
