Indication

1. For patients with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar levels are not satisfactorily controlled by simple diet control and/or exercise therapy. 2. Can be used as a second-line medication for patients with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar levels are not satisfactorily controlled by single sulfonylurea or metformin hydrochloride therapy.

Usage and Dosage

1 For patients with type 2 diabetes who cannot control blood sugar with diet and exercise therapy, the recommended starting dose is 1 tablet (glyburide/metformin: 1.25mg/250mg) once a day, taken with meals. 2 For patients who are undergoing treatment for the first time and have a baseline HbAlc 9% or FPG 200mg/d1, the starting dose is 1 tablet (glyburide/metformin: 1.25mg/250mg) twice a day, taken with meals in the morning and evening. The daily dose of this product can be increased every two weeks to achieve the minimum effective therapeutic dose. 3 For patients who have previously taken other hypoglycemic drugs, the recommended starting dose is 2 tablets (2.5mg/500mg) twice a day or 4 tablets (5mg/1000mg) twice a day, taken with meals.

To avoid hypoglycemia, the starting dose should not exceed the daily dose of sulfonylurea or metformin hydrochloride previously taken. The daily dose is adjusted gradually, with no more than 2 tablets (2.5mg/500mg) added each time until the minimum effective therapeutic dose is reached. 4 The maximum daily dose is recommended not to exceed 8 tablets (10mg/2000mg).
