Glycomin (glibenclamide) is a sulphonylurea which is an oral hypoglycaemic agent. Sulphonylureas stimulate the
pancreatic islet tissue to secrete insulin by causing degranulation of the ß-cells.
INDICATIONS:
Glycomin (glibenclamide) is used as an adjunct in the treatment of maturity-onset diabetics for whom dietary
management alone has been insufficient and insulin cannot be used.

Hypersensitivity to sulphonylureas.
Insulin-dependent diabetics.
Diabetes in young people.
Glycomin (glibenclamide) is contra-indicated in diabetes mellitus complicated by ketoacidosis and in those with severe
infection, stress, trauma and severe impairment of renal, hepatic or thyroid function.
The safety of Glycomin (glibenclamide) in pregnancy is not established.
Chronic liver disease including that caused by uncompensated cardiac failure or alcoholism.
WARNING:
The administration of Glycomin (glibenclamide) may be associated with increased cardiovascular mortality compared
to treatment with diet alone or diet plus insulin.
DOSAGE AND DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
