Glynase (glyburide, Micronase) description:rxlist:"Micronase Tablets (Standard Glyburide): Micronase tablets contain glyburide, which is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Glyburide is a white, crystalline compound, formulated as Micronase tablets of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg strengths for oral administration. Inactive Ingredients: Colloidal silicon dioxide, dibasic calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium alginate, talc. In addition, the 2.5 mg contains aluminum oxide and FD&C red no. 40 and the 5 mg contains aluminum oxide and FD&C blue no. 1." http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/glymic.htm Glynase (glyburide, Micronase) Why is this drug prescribed?:gettingwell.com:"Micronase is an oral antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, the kind that occurs when the body either does not make enough insulin or fails to use insulin properly. Insulin transfers sugar from the bloodstream to the body's cells, where it is then used for energy. There are two forms of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes results from a complete shutdown of normal insulin production and usually requires insulin injections for life, while type 2 diabetes can usually be treated by dietary changes, exercise, and/or oral antidiabetic medications such as Micronase. This medication controls diabetes by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin and by helping insulin to work better. Type 2 diabetics may need insulin injections, sometimes only temporarily during stressful periods such as illness, or on a long-term basis if an oral antidiabetic medication fails to control blood sugar. Micronase can be used alone or along with a drug called metformin (Glucophage) if diet plus either drug alone fails to control sugar levels" http://www.gettingwell.com/drug_info/rxdrugprofiles/drugs/MIC1264.shtml What is the most important information I should know about Glynase (glyburide, Micronase):ahealthyme.com:"Know the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, sweating, tremor, and nausea.

Changing any of them can affect your blood sugar levels. Do not increase the dose of this medicine without first talking to your doctor. Avoid alcohol. It lowers blood sugar and may interfere with your diabetes treatment" http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/topic100589974 Precautions when taking Glynase (glyburide, Micronase):healthtrust.com:"Wear disease medical alert identification for diabetes.

Tell healthcare provider if you are allergic to any medicine. Make sure to tell about the allergy and how it affected you. This includes telling about rash; hives; itching; shortness of breath; wheezing; cough; swelling of face, lips, tongue, throat; or any other symptoms involved.

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
