About
Glucovance:
Common Uses: This anti-diabetic medicine is a combination of two medicines (a sulfonylurea and a biguanide). It is used along with a diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). This medicine works by stimulating the release of your body's natural insulin and by restoring your body's proper response to insulin. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent heart disease, strokes, kidney disease, blindness, and circulation problems, as well as sexual function problems (impotence).

Consult your doctor or pharmacist about the safe use of alcohol. During times of stress, such as fever, infection, injury, or surgery, it may be more difficult to control your blood sugar.

Possible Side Effects: Also see the BEFORE USING THIS MEDICINE section. SIDE EFFECTS, that may occur initially during treatment, include nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, or weight gain. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if your stomach symptoms recur later (after you are taking the same dose for several days or weeks). A later recurrence of stomach symptoms may be due to lactic acidosis.

It is a good habit to carry glucose tablets or gel to treat low blood sugar. If you are in a situation where you don't have these reliable forms of glucose, eat a quick source of sugar such as table sugar, honey, or candy, or drink a glass of orange juice or non-diet soda to quickly raise your blood sugar level. TELL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY about the reaction. To help prevent hypoglycemia, eat meals on a regular schedule and do not skip meals.
