Glyburide
Glyburide (also known as glibenclamide) is a **second-generation sulfonylurea** oral antidiabetic agent. In veterinary medicine, it is primarily used as an alternative oral treatment for **non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)** in cats. Key clinical points: * **Alternative to Glipizide:** It is typically considered when glipizide is unavailable or when a once-daily dosing regimen is strongly preferred by the owner. * **Insulin is Superior:** While oral hypoglycemics can be trialed, **insulin therapy remains the gold standard** and is generally preferred for feline diabetes. * **Efficacy:** Glyburide may not be effective in cats demonstrating significant insulin resistance or those with depleted pancreatic beta-cell function.
กลไกการออกฤทธิ์: Glyburide lowers blood glucose concentrations by stimulating the secretion of endogenous insulin from functional pancreatic beta cells. **Mechanism of Action:** * Binds to **sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1)** subunits on **ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K-ATP)** in the pancreatic beta-cell membrane. * **K-ATP channel closure** → cell membrane depolarization. * Depolarization triggers the opening of **voltage-dependent calcium channels** → **Calcium influx**. * Increased intracellular calcium promotes the exocytosis of **insulin** granules. **Extrapancreatic Effects:** With long-term administration, glyburide may also enhance insulin activity at post-receptor sites and reduce basal hepatic glucose production.

การได้รับยาเกินขนาด
> **Emergency Warning:** Profound **hypoglycemia** is the greatest concern after an overdose. * In humans, severe hypoglycemia has occurred at relatively low dosages. * **Decontamination:** Gut emptying protocols should be employed when warranted and if the patient is neurologically stable. * **Treatment:** Because its half-life is longer than glipizide, prolonged hypoglycemia may occur. Continuous blood glucose monitoring and treatment with parenteral glucose (IV dextrose) may be required for several days. * **Monitoring:** Massive overdoses may also require additional monitoring (blood gases, serum electrolytes) and supportive therapy.
