The physician is planning to prescribe a second-generation sulphonylurea

Question The physician is planning to prescribe a second-generation sulphonylureaagent for Mr. Dressel, a 50-year-old financial advisor with a history of frequent kidney infections. In particular, Mr. Dressel requires treatment for a long-term stimulation of the pancreas to help control his BG levels throughout the day and night.   Why did the physician choose this drug rather than, for example, chlorpropamide (Diabinese)? Why would glyburide be a good choice for Mr. Dressel? When should he take this drug?        Health Science Science Nursing NUR 304 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
