Drugs that potentiate or prolong the effects of sulfonylureas and therefore increase the risk of hypoglycemia include acetylsalicylic acid and derivatives, allopurinol, sulfonamides, and fibrates. Drugs that worsen glucose tolerance , contravening the effects of antidiabetics, include corticosteroids , isoniazid , oral contraceptives and other ...
The term "biguanidine" often refers specifically to a class of drugs that function as oral antihyperglycemic drugs used for diabetes mellitus or prediabetes treatment. [4] Examples include: Metformin - widely used in treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2; Phenformin - withdrawn from the market in most countries due to toxic effects
Sulfonylureas, especially first-generation sulfonylureas such as Acetohexamide, can cause severe hypoglycemia and increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] References
The sulfonylureas and thiazide diuretics are newer drug groups based upon the antibacterial sulfonamides. [1] [2] Allergies to sulfonamides are common. The overall incidence of adverse drug reactions to sulfa antibiotics is approximately 3%, close to penicillin; [3] hence medications containing sulfonamides are prescribed carefully.

For example, in pancreatic beta cells, high levels of glucose lead to increased production of ATP, which, in turn, binds to the K ATP channel resulting in channel closure. The relative depolarization (decrease in membrane hyperpolarization ), in turn, opens voltage-dependent calcium channels increasing intracellular calcium concentrations ...
