Empagliflozin and Glyburide interaction

Hypoglycemia: Adult patients taking an insulin secretagogue or insulin may have an increased risk of hypoglycemia.

Consider lowering the dosage of insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when initiating JARDIANCE.

Hypoglycemia Insulin and insulin secretagogues are known to cause hypoglycemia.

In adult patients, the risk of hypoglycemia may be increased when JARDIANCE is used in combination with insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin.

The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogues) or insulin.

Although only one drug in the sulfonylurea class (tolbutamide) was included in this study, it is prudent from a safety standpoint to consider that this warning may also apply to other oral hypoglycemic drugs in this class, in view of their close similarities in mode of action and chemical structure.

A potential interaction between oral miconazole and oral hypoglycemic agents leading to severe hypoglycemia has been reported.

This warning is based on the study conducted by the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP), a long-term prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
