23 Sep 2011

General considerations for when and how to take Glyburide include the following:

The medication comes in tablet form. It should be taken by mouth, usually once or twice a day.
When taking glyburide once daily, it should be taken with breakfast (or the first main meal).
When taking the medication twice daily, the first dose should be taken with breakfast (or the first main meal).
Glyburide should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level in your blood.
For glyburide to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. The medication will not work if you stop taking it.

Take care, please, be well & safe, best wishes!
