Talk:Glibenclamide

Proposed merge
Glyburide, "Glybenclamide" and glibenclamide are one and the same; glyburide is simply the USAN, while glibenclamide is the INN. I am therefore proposing that Glyburide be merged into Glibenclamide, in conformity with WikiProject Drugs/General/Naming of drug pages. If anyone opposes this merge (or in the event I am completely wrong and these drugs are in fact not the same), please leave a message here or on my talk page. If there is no opposition, I will perform the merge myself in 24 hours, that is, on July 14, 2006. Fvasconcellos 18:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Go for it. Based on this --> <-- they are the same. Nephron  T|C 20:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Pregnancy
Anyone want to explain "contraindicated in pregnant women"? As far as I'm aware, they've been prescribing this class of drugs pretty consistently for 30 years for pregnant women, including my wife when she was pregnant. --Mrcolj 20:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I can find no reference for this - it is commonly prescribed in pregnancy.

more information
More information about dosage would be helpful. Also, what happens if a person starts and stops the medication? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.56.108.5 (talk) 02:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * GENERAL dosage and administration would be in line with other articles on drugs, though cessation of the drug typically isn't covered, save if there are significant effects from it. From memory, I don't recall any rebound effect ever noted, only diabetic issues will begin again.Wzrd1 (talk) 01:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
