Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Chlorpropamide tablets.
Like other sulfonylureas, Chlorpropamide Tablets act to increase the secretion of insulin, so it is only effective in patients who have some pancreatic beta cell function. It can cause relatively long episodes of hypoglycemia; this is one reason why shorter-acting sulfonylureas such as gliclazide or tolbutamide are used instead.
The risk of hypoglycemia makes chlorpropamide a poor choice for the elderly and patients with mild to moderate hepatic and renal impairment. Chlorpropamide is also used in partial central diabetes insipidus.
