Consumer:Using glipiZIDE together with dulaglutide can increase the risk of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring of your blood sugar to safely use both medications. Let your doctor know if you experience hypoglycemia during treatment. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, nausea, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and rapid heartbeat. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:ADJUST DOSE: Coadministration of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea, meglitinide) may potentiate the risk of hypoglycemia. GLP-1 receptor agonists lower blood glucose by stimulating insulin secretion and lowering glucagon secretion.
MANAGEMENT: A lower dosage of the insulin secretagogue may be required when used in combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Blood glucose should be monitored closely, and patients should be counseled to recognize the symptoms of hypoglycemia such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and tachycardia. If hypoglycemia occurs, patients should initiate appropriate remedial therapy immediately and contact their physician. Patients should also be advised to take precautions to avoid hypoglycemia while driving or operating hazardous machinery.
