Patients should be under close clinical observation when treatment with PROGLYCEM is initiated. Carefully monitor the clinical response and blood glucose until the patient’s condition has stabilized satisfactory; in most instances, this may be accomplished in several days. If administration of PROGLYCEM is not effective after 2 or 3 weeks, discontinue PROGLYCEM.
Individualize the dosage of PROGLYCEM based on the severity of the hypoglycemic condition and the blood glucose level and clinical response of the patient. Adjust the dosage until the desired clinical and laboratory effects are produced with the least amount of PROGLYCEM. Take special care to ensure the accuracy of the dosage in infants and young children.
