When two or more
medicines are taken together, it can change how the medicines work and increase the risk of side-effects. In medical terms, this is called as a
Drug Interaction.
Glycinorm Tablet interacts with
alcohol. When the Glycinorm is used with
alcohol, the blood
sugar level lowering effect of Glycinorm is increased and it may lead to the onset of low blood
sugar related
coma. When using Glycinorm, use of alcohol or alcohol containing medicines should be avoided.
There may be an interaction of
Glycinorm with
phenylbutazone, which is used to treat mild to moderate
pain,
fever, and inflammation in the body. When Glycinorm is used with phenylbutazone may increase the blood
glucose lowering effect of Glycinorm. It is advised to use another anti-inflammatory agent and tell the
importance of self-monitoring to the patient. If required, the dose of Glycinorm may be adjusted during and after treatment with phenylbutazone.
Glycinorm Tablet may interact with
miconazole, which is used to treat fungal infection. When Glycinorm is used with miconazole, the blood
glucose level lowering effect of Glycinorm is increased and it may result in symptoms of low blood
sugar level or even
coma. This medicine should not be used in combination with miconazole.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
danazol, which is used to treat abnormal growth of endometrial tissues (
endometriosis) and breast
lumps (fibrocystic breast disease) in women. When Glycinorm is used with danazol, it can cause
diabetes. Glycinorm should not be used with danazol. The dose of an antidiabetic agent should be adjusted during and after treatment with danazol. The patient should be informed about the
importance of blood
sugar or urine monitoring.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with other blood
sugar level lowering agents (for example,
insulins,
acarbose, biguanides), which are used to treat high blood
sugar level. When one of these medicines is used with Glycinorm, the blood sugar lowering effect is increased.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with blood thinners (
warfarin), which is used to prevent blood clots. When Glycinorm is used with blood thinners such as warfarin, it may increase the risk of blood clot
formation. The dose adjustment of the blood thinners may be required in such patients.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
terbutaline, which is used to treat
asthma and to control premature labor. When Glycinorm is used with terbutaline injection in the vein, the blood
glucose level increases due to
beta-2 agonist effect of terbutaline. In such patients, blood
glucose level should be strictly monitored. Use
insulin as an alternative medicine, if required.
Glycinorm Tablet interacts with
ritodrine and
salbutamol, which are used to control premature labor and to treat
asthma respectively. When Glycinorm is used with ritodrine and salbutamol injection in the vein, the blood
glucose level increases due to
beta-2 agonist effect of ritodrine and salbutamol. The patients should be
regularly monitored for changes in blood
glucose level.
Insulin can be used as an alternative medicine instead of Glycinorm if required.
There may be an interaction of
Glycinorm with
glucocorticoids and tetracosactrin, which are used to treat inflammation. Glucocorticoids and tetracosactrin may cause a
rise in the blood
glucose levels with possibly increased levels of ketone bodies (ketosis). The patient should use caution when using Glycinorm and glucocorticoids or tetracosactrin together. The dose of an antidiabetic agent should be adjusted during and after treatment with glucocorticoids and tetracosactrin. The patient should be informed about the
importance of blood
sugar monitoring, especially at the starting of treatment.
Glycinorm Tablet may interact with
chlorpromazine, which is used to treat mental disorders. The high dosages of chlorpromazine raise blood
glucose levels. The patient should use caution when using Glycinorm and chlorpromazine together. Inform the patient about the monitoring of blood
glucose level. The dose adjustment of antidiabetic agent may be necessary during and after treatment with chlorpromazine.
Your doctor's guidelines may need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
beta-blockers, angiotensin converting
enzyme inhibitors (
captopril,
enalapril); which are used to treat high blood pressure and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, which are used to treat
fever, mild to moderate
pain and inflammation. When Glycinorm is used with any one of these medicines, there is an increase in blood
sugar lowering effect.
Special instructions need to be followed while taking this medicine along with
fluconazole,
histamine 2-receptor antagonists, monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOIs), and
sulfonamides; which are used to treat fungal infection, stomach
ulcers,
depression, and bacterial infection respectively. When one of these medicines is used with Glycinorm, the blood
sugar lowering effect is increased.
There may be an interaction of
Glycinorm with
sulfinpyrazone, which is used to treat red, stiff and painful joints (
gout). When Glycinorm is used with sulfinpyrazone, the blood
glucose level lowering effect of Glycinorm increases.
Glycinorm Tablet may interact with
octreotide, which is used to treat severe
diarrhea or abnormal growth of cells (
tumors) in intestine or pancreas. When Glycinorm is used with octreotide, the blood
glucose level lowering effect of Glycinorm increases.
