Type-2 diabetes mellitus is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal.
 
Glynase Tablet 10's contains 'Glipizide' which works by increasing insulin production by stimulating insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas, thereby reducing high blood glucose (sugar) levels.

GLIPIZIDE-5MGType 2 diabetes mellitus
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glynase Tablet:
Some sulfonylurea medications should not be used to treat diabetic ketoacidosis in individuals who are in or out of the coma. Additionally, these medications shouldn't be the only form of treatment for those with type I diabetes

How to manage the interaction:
Sulfonylureas are contraindicated for the treatment of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma.
GLIPIZIDE-5MGOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glynase Tablet:
Sulfonylureas are broken down in the liver, and their metabolites—some of which have therapeutic potential are eliminated through the urine and feces. Sulfonylureas may cause increased blood drug concentrations in patients with impaired liver and/or renal function, increasing the risk of severe hypoglycemia episodes brought on by these medications. Hepatic impairment may also result in a reduction in gluconeogenic ability, raising the risk even higher. Patients with hepatic and/or renal illness should receive sulfonylurea therapy with caution. It could be necessary to use lower doses and space out dosage adjustments more often. Due to decreased metabolism and/or medication excretion, these patients may experience extended hypoglycemia if it develops while they are receiving therapy

How to manage the interaction:
In patients with impaired kidney function, sulfonylureas may be exposed to higher serum drug concentrations leading to low blood sugar episodes. Therapy with sulfonylureas should be administered cautiously in patients with kidney disease.
GLIPIZIDE-5MGSpecial screening examination for other diseases and disorders
Severe
How does the disease interact with Glynase Tablet:
Compared to diet alone or diet plus insulin, the use of oral hypoglycemic medicines may be linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality

How to manage the interaction:
The use of oral hypoglycemic agents may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Type-2 diabetes mellitus: It is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, a chronic disease that keeps the body from utilizing insulin properly. Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Insulin is the hormone that controls sugar levels in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce sufficient insulin or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, hence it is also called adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include lack of energy, tiredness, frequent urination, excess thirst, dry mouth, blurry vision, constant hunger, weight loss, and itchy skin.
