Description

Mode of Action

Gliclazide stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells, reduces insulin uptake and glucose output by the liver, and increases insulin sensitivity at peripheral target sites. It decreases microthrombosis by partial inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion, and by restoring fibrinolysis w/ an increase in tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity.

Interaction

May increase hypoglycaemic effect w/ phenylbutazone. Potentiation of blood glucose lowering effect w/ other antidiabetics (e.g. acarbose, insulins, metformin), beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists, MAOIs, sulfonamides, clarithromycin and NSAIDs. Chlorpromazine, glucocorticoids, ritodrine, salbutamol and terbutaline may cause increases in blood glucose levels. May diminish hypoglycaemic effect w/ danazol. May increase anticoagulant effect of warfarin. Potentially Fatal: Increased hypoglycaemic effect w/ miconazole

Pregnancy Category Note

Pregnancy Available data from a small number of published studies and postmarketing experience in pregnancy over decades have not identified any drug associated risks for major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal outcomes. However, sulfonylureas (including glimepiride) cross the placenta and have been associated with neonatal adverse reactions such as hypoglycemia; therefore, therapy should be discontinued at least two weeks before expected delivery; poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy is also associated with risks to mother and fetus Fetal neonatal adverse reactions Neonates of women with gestational diabetes who are treated with sulfonylureas during pregnancy may be at increased risk for neonatal intensive care admission and may develop respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, birth injury, and be large for gestational age; prolonged severe hypoglycemia, lasting 4?10 days, reported in neonates born to mothers receiving a sulfonylurea at time of delivery and has been reported with use of agents with prolonged half-life; observe newborns for symptoms of hypoglycemia and respiratory distress and manage accordingly Dose adjustments during pregnancy and postpartum period Due to reports of prolonged severe hypoglycemia in neonates born to mothers receiving sulfonylurea at time of delivery, therapy should be discontinued at least two weeks before expected delivery Lactation Breastfed infants of lactating women in therapy should be monitored for symptoms of hypoglycemia; not known whether drug is excreted in human milk and there are no data on effects of drug on milk production; drug is present in rat milk; developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother's clinical need for drug and any potential adverse effects on breastfed child from drug or from underlying maternal condition Monitor breastfed infants for signs of hypoglycemia (e.g., jitters, cyanosis, apnea, hypothermia, excessive sleepiness, poor feeding, seizures)
