Sulfonylurea medications are prescribed when changes in diet, weight loss, and exercise do not keep the blood sugar level within a safe range. When taking one of these medications, it is still important to eat a balanced diet, exercise, and lose weight if needed.
These medications can help control blood sugar levels in children and young adults who have type 2 diabetes and are overweight.
Sulfonylurea medications are not safe if you:
* Are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. They may harm the fetus.
* Have liver or kidney problems. Sulfonylurea medications are broken down by the liver and pass out of the body through urine produced in the kidneys.
Tell your doctor if you have had a serious allergic reaction to a sulfa antibiotic, such as Bactrim or Septra. You may not be able to use a sulfonylurea.
