What are the most probable effects of using metformin with glibenclamide in diabetic type 2, recently stopped using glibenclamide after reading that it leads to death when used in combination with metformin.
 
I'm not avoiding the issue since the side effects of any drug is listed and can be lengthy. It might be a good idea to just Google "side effects of <pick one>.
 
Google tells me that recent studies have shown that glibenclamide/metformin use have resulted into death and I wanted to find out if anyone within the forum has come across such information.
 
You can check wikepeadia by searching glibenclamide on its effects and contra indications as regards its use with metformin
 
Iam not in a position to give the link but you can check on that especially where it talks about a recent study and mortality.

Troll?

There seems no valid reason not to post a link to published research.

What did your leaflet of information say supplied with your drugs? Reread them again for clarification hun.
This old thread's participants seemed to think it was a troll.
Can you google this yourself and stick to trusted websites?
 
These 2 drugs are mixed into one med and available in India.

Mayo clinic says
"Glyburide and metformin combination is used to treat high blood sugar levelscaused by a type of diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes) called type 2 diabetes. Normally, after you eat, your pancreas releases insulin to help your body store excess sugar for later use. This process occurs during normal digestion of food."
