What is Glorion

Treating type 2 diabetes in patients who cannot control blood sugar levels by diet and exercise alone. It is used along with diet and exercise. It may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines.
Glorion is a sulfonylurea antidiabetic medicine. It works by causing the pancreas to release insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar.

Important safety information:

• Glorion may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or lightheadedness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Glorion with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Do not drink alcohol while you are taking Glorion; it may increase the risk of low blood sugar. Rarely, alcohol may interact with Glorion and cause a serious reaction with symptoms such as flushing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or stomach pain. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
• Carry an ID card at all times that says you have diabetes. Check your blood sugar levels as directed by your doctor. If they are often higher or lower than they should be and you take Glorion exactly as prescribed, tell your doctor.
• Proper diet, regular exercise, and regular blood sugar testing are important for best results with Glorion. Follow the diet and exercise program given to you by your health care provider.
• It may be harder to control your blood sugar during times of stress such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery. Talk with your doctor about how to control your blood sugar if any of these occur. Do not change the dose of your medicine without checking with your doctor.
• Glorion may cause low blood sugar levels. Low blood sugar may make you anxious, sweaty, weak, dizzy, drowsy, or faint. It may also make your heart beat faster; make your vision change; give you a headache, chills, or tremors; or make you more hungry. It is a good idea to carry a reliable source of glucose to treat low blood sugar. If this is not available, you should eat or drink a quick source of sugar like table sugar, honey, candy, orange juice, or non-diet soda. This will raise your blood sugar level quickly. Tell your doctor right away if this happens. To prevent low blood sugar, eat meals at the same time each day and do not skip meals.
• Risk of low blood sugar may be increased by severe or prolonged exercise, drinking alcohol, or skipping meals.
• Glorion is a sulfonylurea. It may increase the risk of death from heart disease. Talk with your doctor about the benefits and risks of this or other therapies to treat your condition.
• Glorion may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Glorion. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.
• Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Glorion before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
• Lab tests, including fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A_1c, may be performed while you use Glorion. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Use Glorion with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially low blood sugar levels.
• Glorion should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
• PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Glorion may cause harm to the fetus or newborn. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Glorion while you are pregnant. It is not known if Glorion is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Glorion.

When used for long periods of time, Glorion may not work as well. If your blood sugar has been under control and then becomes hard to manage, contact your doctor. Do not change the dose of your medicine without checking with your doctor.
