Chlorpropamide is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels by helping your pancreas produce insulin. Chlorpropamide is used together with diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes. Chlorpropamide is sometimes used in combination with other diabetes medicines. Chlorpropamide should not be used by itself to treat type 1 diabetes. Chlorpropamide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. Slideshow Insomnia and Sleep Deprivation: The Case For A Good Night's Sleep What is the most important information I should know about Diabinese (chlorpropamide)? You should not use chlorpropamide if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis. Call your doctor for treatment with insulin. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Diabinese (chlorpropamide)? You should not use chlorpropamide if you are allergic to it, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with insulin). To make sure chlorpropamide is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have: liver disease; kidney disease; a disorder of your pituitary or adrenal glands; a history of heart disease; or if you are malnourished. Certain oral diabetes medications may increase your risk of serious heart problems. However, not treating your diabetes can damage your heart and other organs. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of taking chlorpropamide. It is not known whether chlorpropamide will harm an unborn baby. Similar diabetes medicines have caused severe hypoglycemia in newborn babies whose mothers had used the medicine near the time of delivery. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using chlorpropamide. Chlorpropamide can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking chlorpropamide. How should I take Diabinese (chlorpropamide)? Chlorpropamide is usually taken once per day with breakfast. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can happen to everyone who has diabetes. Symptoms include headache, hunger, sweating, confusion, irritability, dizziness, or feeling shaky. Always keep a source of sugar with you in case you have low blood sugar. Sugar sources include fruit juice, hard candy, crackers, raisins, and non-diet soda. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency. If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use a glucagon injection. Your doctor can prescribe a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to use it. Also watch for signs of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) such as increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss. Check your blood sugar carefully during times of stress, travel, illness, surgery or medical emergency, vigorous exercise, or if you drink alcohol or skip meals. These things can affect your glucose levels and your dose needs may also change. Do not change your medication dose or schedule without your doctor's advice. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Chlorpropamide is only part of a treatment program that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, blood sugar testing, and special medical care. Follow your doctor's instructions very closely. Use chlorpropamide regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely. Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. What happens if I miss a dose? Take the missed dose as soon as you remember (take the medicine with food if your doctor instructs you to). Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose. What happens if I overdose? Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. A chlorpropamide overdose can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia. Symptoms of severe hypoglycemia include extreme weakness, confusion, tremors, sweating, fast heart rate, trouble speaking, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, fainting, and seizure (convulsions). What should I avoid while taking Diabinese (chlorpropamide)? Avoid drinking alcohol. It lowers blood sugar and may interfere with your diabetes treatment. Avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds. Chlorpropamide can make you sunburn more easily. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors.
