Chloropropamide 250mg Tablet

Uses of Chloropropamide 250mg Tablet

Chloropropamide 250mg Tablet is used to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is an older medicine and is now prescribed less often, because its effect lasts a long time and this raises the risk of low blood sugar. Keeping blood sugar under control helps reduce the risk of long-term problems with the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.

How Chloropropamide 250mg Tablet works

Chlorpropamide acts on the beta cells of the pancreas and prompts them to release more insulin. Insulin then helps move sugar from the blood into the body’s cells. Because it works by increasing insulin release, it only works in people whose pancreas still makes some insulin.

Possible side effects

Low blood sugar is the most important side effect to know about with Chloropropamide 250mg Tablet. Other common effects include:

• Low blood sugar (shakiness, sweating, hunger)
• Nausea or stomach upset
• Weight gain
• Skin rash or itching
• Facial flushing after drinking alcohol

Get urgent help for severe low blood sugar (confusion, fits or loss of consciousness), yellowing of the skin or eyes, unusual bruising, bleeding or sore throat, or drowsiness and confusion that may signal low sodium levels.

Precautions and warnings

• Learn the signs of low blood sugar and keep glucose tablets or a sugary drink with you at all times.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, as the medicine can build up and cause prolonged low blood sugar; older adults are especially at risk.
• Alcohol can cause flushing and raises the risk of low blood sugar, so it is best avoided.
• Several medicines interact with Chloropropamide 250mg Tablet, including some antibiotics, antifungals and beta-blockers, so tell your doctor about everything you take.
