Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Glynase Work?

Glyburide works by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to produce more insulin in response to elevated blood glucose levels. This increase in insulin secretion helps lower blood sugar levels, especially after meals. Additionally, glyburide may enhance the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, promoting better glucose uptake by the cells.



Common Dosages

  • Starting dose: Usually begins at 2.5 mg to 5 mg taken once daily.
  • Maintenance dose: The dose can be adjusted based on blood glucose levels, typically not exceeding 20 mg per day.

Typical Dosing

  • For type 2 diabetes management: Start with 2.5 mg to 5 mg once daily, with adjustments made as needed based on glycemic control.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise.


Who Shouldn't Take Glynase?

  • Known hypersensitivity to glyburide or any components of the formulation.
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • Severe renal or hepatic impairment.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Use as prescribed: Take Glynase exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Adhere to the recommended dosing schedule.
  • Monitor blood glucose: Regularly check blood sugar levels to assess the effectiveness of the medication and make necessary adjustments.
  • Watch for hypoglycemia: Be aware of the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar (e.g., sweating, dizziness, confusion) and have a source of sugar available to treat it if needed.
  • Store Glynase at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and keep it out of reach of children.

Risks and Warnings of Glynase

  • Hypoglycemia Risk: Glynase can cause low blood sugar, especially if meals are skipped or delayed. Patients should be educated on how to recognize and treat hypoglycemia.
  • Monitoring: Regular follow-up appointments are important to monitor blood sugar levels and overall health.
