Generic Micronase (Glyburide) helps treat the symptoms of type 2 diabetes by making the organs involved in blood sugar production and reuptake more sensitive to the effects of insulin. Insulin is responsible for balancing the levels of glucose in the blood but this balance is disturbed in diabetic patients, leading to an overproduction of blood sugar that doesn't get reabsorbed. By stimulating the actions of insulin, these pills restore the natural blood sugar equilibrium. Using Generic Micronase (Glyburide) to control diabetes, significantly lowers the risk of related conditions, such as kidney disease, nerve damage, stroke and heart disease.

Häufige Fragen
How does Generic Micronase (Glyburide) work?
Insulin is produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels. It does this by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and increasing the uptake of glucose by muscle and fat tissues. Diabetes causes a drop in insulin production, which sets a chain reaction in motion - the liver will produce more sugar and less will be removed from the blood by body tissues. Generic Micronase (Glyburide) makes the liver, muscle and fat tissues more sensitive to the effects of natural insulin in the body, making it easier for these organs to perform their natural functions. As a result, blood sugar levels are stabilized once again.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Generic Micronase (Glyburide)?
As both alcohol and Generic Micronase (Glyburide) lower your blood sugar levels, the combination of the two increases the risk of hypoglycemia. In rare cases, a combination of the two can also lead to a serious reaction, with symptoms including:
Facial flushing
Nausea
Vomiting
Dizziness
Stomach pain
It is recommended to limit your alcohol intake while using Generic Micronase (Glyburide) or even avoid alcohol altogether.
Is it safe to take Generic Micronase (Glyburide) when pregnant or breastfeeding?
Generic Micronase (Glyburide) is classed as Pregnancy Category C, which means it may cause harm to an unborn baby. It is not recommended to take this medication when pregnant. Discuss your options with your doctor if you are currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether Generic Micronase (Glyburide) passes into breast milk. Talk to your doctor before taking this medication if you are currently breastfeeding.
Can I take Generic Micronase (Glyburide) as a replacement for insulin or other diabetes medication?
