| Glyburide, DiaBeta, Glynase, Micronase, Glibenclamide, Euglucon Description Glyburide is a sulfonylurea anti-diabetic drug used in the treatment of type II diabetes. Glyburide works by inhibiting ATP-sensitive potassium channels in pancreatic beta cells., which causes cell membrane depolarization, opening of voltage-dependent calcium channels, thus triggering an increase in intracellular calcium into the beta cell which stimulates insulin release. Action antidiabetic, sulfonurease Indications diabetes mellitus Side Effects agranulocytosis, anemia, aplastic anemia, cholestasis, erythema, hemolysis, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, jaundice, leukopenia, maculopapular rash, nausea/vomiting, pancytopenia, photosensitivity, pruritus, SIADH, thrombocytopenia, urticaria, Drug-Vitamin-Herb Interactions Negative interactions: Ipriflavone Ipriflavone may increase the effects of antidiabetics which may cause hypoglycemia.
