DiaBeta


Pronunciation: GLYE-bure-ide
Generic Name: Glyburide
Brand Name: DiaBeta


DiaBeta is used for:

Treating type 2 diabetes. It is used along with diet and exercise. It may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines.


DiaBeta is a sulfonylurea antidiabetic medicine. It works by causing the pancreas to release insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar.


Do NOT use DiaBeta if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in DiaBeta

  • you have type 1 diabetes or certain severe problems associated with diabetes (eg, diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic coma)

  • you have moderate to severe burns or very high blood acid levels (acidosis)

  • you are pregnant and are within 2 weeks of the expected delivery date

  • you are taking bosentan

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.



Before using DiaBeta:


Some medical conditions may interact with DiaBeta. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, a severe rash, hives, itching, breathing difficulties, dizziness) to any other sulfonamide medicine, such as acetazolamide, celecoxib, certain diuretics (eg, hydrochlorothiazide), glipizide, probenecid, sulfamethoxazole, valdecoxib, or zonisamide

  • if you have a history of liver, kidney, thyroid, or heart problems

  • if you have stomach or bowel problems (eg, stomach or bowel blockage, stomach paralysis), drink alcohol, or have had poor nutrition

  • if you have a certain nerve problem (autonomic neuropathy), very poor health, a high fever, a severe infection, severe diarrhea, or high blood acid levels, or have had a severe injury

  • if you have a history of certain hormonal problems (eg, adrenal or pituitary problems, syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone [SIADH]), low blood sodium levels, anemia, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency

  • if you will be having surgery

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with DiaBeta. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Bosentan because liver problems may occur and the effectiveness of both medicines may be decreased

  • Beta-blockers (eg, propranolol) because the risk of low blood sugar may be increased. They may also hide certain signs of low blood sugar and make it more difficult to notice

  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), azole antifungals (eg, ketoconazole, miconazole), chloramphenicol, clarithromycin, clofibrate, disopyramide, fenfluramine, fluoxetine, insulin, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (eg, phenelzine), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, ibuprofen), phenylbutazone, probenecid, quinolone antibiotics (eg, ciprofloxacin), salicylates (eg, aspirin), or sulfonamides (eg, sulfamethoxazole) because the risk of low blood sugar may be increased

  • Calcium channel blockers (eg, diltiazem), corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), decongestants (eg, pseudoephedrine), diazoxide, diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide), estrogens, hormonal contraceptives (eg, birth control pills), hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), isoniazid, niacin, phenothiazines (eg, promethazine), rifamycins (eg, rifampin), sympathomimetics (eg, albuterol, epinephrine, terbutaline), or thyroid supplements (eg, levothyroxine) because they may decrease DiaBeta's effectiveness, resulting in high blood sugar

  • Gemfibrozil because blood sugar may be increased or decreased

  • Cyclosporine because the risk of its side effects may be increased by DiaBeta

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if DiaBeta may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.


How to use DiaBeta:


Use DiaBeta as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Take DiaBeta by mouth with food as directed by your doctor.

  • If you are taking 1 dose daily, take DiaBeta with breakfast or the first main meal of the day unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

  • High amounts of dietary fiber may decrease DiaBeta's effectiveness, resulting in high blood sugar. If you have questions about fiber in your diet while you are taking DiaBeta, talk with your doctor.

  • DiaBeta works best if it is taken at the same time each day.

  • Continue to take DiaBeta even if you feel well. Do not miss any doses.

  • If you miss a dose of DiaBeta, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use DiaBeta.



Important safety information:


  • DiaBeta may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or lightheadedness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use DiaBeta with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.

  • Do not drink large amounts of alcohol while you use DiaBeta. Alcohol may increase the risk of DiaBeta's side effects. Also, alcohol may rarely interact with DiaBeta and cause a serious reaction with symptoms such as flushing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or stomach pain. Talk with your doctor or health care provider before you drink alcohol while you use DiaBeta.

  • Carry an ID card at all times that says you have diabetes. Check your blood sugar levels as directed by your doctor. If they are often higher or lower than they should be and you take DiaBeta exactly as prescribed, tell your doctor.

  • Proper diet, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar testing are important for best results with DiaBeta. Follow the diet and exercise program given to you by your health care provider.

  • It may be harder to control your blood sugar during times of stress such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery. Talk with your doctor about how to control your blood sugar if any of these occur. Do not change the dose of your medicine without checking with your doctor.

  • DiaBeta may cause low blood sugar levels. Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your heart beat faster; make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you more hungry. It is a good idea to carry a reliable source of glucose (eg, tablets or gel) to treat low blood sugar. If this is not available, you should eat or drink a quick source of sugar like table sugar, honey, candy, orange juice, or non-diet soda. This will raise your blood sugar level quickly. Tell your doctor right away if this happens. To prevent low blood sugar, eat meals at the same time each day and do not skip meals.

  • Risk of low blood sugar may be increased by severe or prolonged exercise, drinking alcohol, or skipping meals.

  • DiaBeta is a sulfonylurea. It may increase the risk of death from heart disease. Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of this or other therapies to treat your condition.

  • DiaBeta may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to DiaBeta. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.

  • Do not change from this type of glyburide (nonmicronized) to the micronized type without checking with your doctor. Their effectiveness may not be the same.

  • DiaBeta should not be used by itself to treat type 1 diabetes. If you have questions about using DiaBeta to treat type 1 diabetes, talk with your doctor.

  • Tell your doctor or dentist that you take DiaBeta before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.

  • Lab tests, including fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c, may be performed while you use DiaBeta. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.

  • Use DiaBeta with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially low blood sugar levels.

  • DiaBeta should not be used in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.

  • PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using DiaBeta while you are pregnant. If you take DiaBeta during pregnancy, do not take it within 2 weeks of the expected delivery date without first checking with your doctor. It is not known if DiaBeta is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking DiaBeta.

When used for long periods of time, DiaBeta may not work as well. If your blood sugar has been under control and then becomes hard to manage, contact your doctor. Do not change the dose of your medicine without checking with your doctor.



Possible side effects of DiaBeta:


All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. Check with your doctor if any of these most COMMON side effects persist or become bothersome:



Feeling of stomach fullness; heartburn; nausea.



Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing, joint or muscle pain, tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue; unusual hoarseness); blisters on the skin; confusion; fainting; fever, chills, or persistent sore throat; irregular heartbeat; low blood sugar symptoms (eg, anxiety, dizziness, drowsiness, fast heartbeat, headache, lightheadedness, tremors, unusual sweating, weakness); severe or persistent blurred vision or other vision problems; symptoms of liver problems (eg, dark urine, loss of appetite, pale stools, stomach pain, yellowing of the eyes or skin); unusual bruising or bleeding; unusual tiredness or weakness.



This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. To report side effects to the appropriate agency, please read the Guide to Reporting Problems to FDA.

What is Dynex LA (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?

There are many brands and forms of guaifenesin and phenylephrine available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth.


Phenylephrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of guaifenesin and phenylephrine is used to treat stuffy nose and sinus congestion, and to reduce chest congestion caused by the common cold or flu.


Guaifenesin and phenylephrine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Dynex LA (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


There are many brands and forms of guaifenesin and phenylephrine available and not all brands are listed on this leaflet.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cough, cold, or allergy medicine. Guaifenesin and phenylephrine are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains guaifenesin or phenylephrine.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Dynex LA (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


You should not use this medication if you are allergic to guaifenesin or phenylephrine, or to other decongestants, diet pills, stimulants, or ADHD medications. Do not use guaifenesin and phenylephrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam, Zelapar), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) in the last 14 days. Serious, life threatening side effects can occur if you use guaifenesin and phenylephrine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.

Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medication if you have:



  • heart disease or high blood pressure;




  • diabetes;




  • circulation problems;




  • glaucoma;




  • overactive thyroid; or




  • enlarged prostate or problems with urination.




It is not known if this medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Do not use this medication without your doctor's advice if you are pregnant. This medication passes into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Artificially-sweetened liquid forms of cold medicine may contain phenylalanine. This would be important to know if you have phenylketonuria (PKU). Check the ingredients and warnings on the medication label if you are concerned about phenylalanine.


How should I take Dynex LA (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Cold medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.


Do not give this medication to a child younger than 4 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough or cold medicine in very young children.

Measure the liquid form of this medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.


Do not crush, chew, break, or open an extended-release tablet or capsule. Swallow it whole. Breaking or opening the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Take guaifenesin and phenylephrine with food if it upsets your stomach. Talk with your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days of treatment, or if you have a fever with a headache, cough, or skin rash. Drink extra fluids to help loosen the congestion and lubricate your throat while you are taking this medication. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?


Since cough or cold medicine is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.


What happens if I overdose?


Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, numbness or tingly feeling, dizziness, and feeling restless or nervous.


What should I avoid while taking Dynex LA (guaifenesin and phenylephrine)?


This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert. Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of guaifenesin and phenylephrine. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cough, cold, or allergy medicine. Guaifenesin and phenylephrine are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much of a certain drug. Check the label to see if a medicine contains guaifenesin or phenylephrine.

Avoid taking this medication with diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.
