This is what Amaryl does. Sulfonylureas are the oral medications that are most often prescribed for Type II diabetes. These drugs work by forcing the pancreas to secrete more insulin. Examples include tolbutamide (Orinase), tolazamide (Tolinase), acetohexamide (Dymelor), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase, Micronase), glipizide (Glucotrol), and glymeperide (Amaryl). While all these drugs work in a similar way, their strength and duration of action vary. Potential side effects also are similar, and include liver problems, low blood sugar, nausea, and an increased risk of heart disease. I take 3 mg. a day and it works well with Metformin.
