Glysobuzole
Glysobuzole
Glysobuzole (pronunciation: glai-so-bu-zole) is a type of antidiabetic drug used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of sulfonylureas, which are medications that help control blood sugar levels by causing the pancreas to release insulin.
Etymology
The term "Glysobuzole" is derived from the Greek words "glykys" meaning sweet, "bu" from butyl, and "zole" from thiazolidinedione, a class of drugs used in the treatment of diabetes.
Usage
Glysobuzole is used in the management of Type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise, and weight reduction alone does not adequately control blood sugar levels. It works by stimulating the release of your body's natural insulin.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Glysobuzole can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Some common side effects include hypoglycemia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
