What the Health Canada label says it is for
INDICATIONS AND CLINICAL USE APO-GLYBURIDE (glyburide) is indicated as an adjunct to proper dietary management, exercise and weight reduction to lower blood glucose in adult patients with type 2 diabetes whose hyperglycemia cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone or when insulin therapy is not required. Pediatrics (<18 years of age) Safety and effectiveness of glyburide has not been established. Use in patients under 18 years of age is not recommended (see WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations). Geriatrics Elderly with type 2 diabetes when treated with glyburide are more prone to hypoglycemia (see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, Special Populations). https://pdf.hres.ca/dpd_pm/00038563.PDF PM date: March 20, 2017 Source product: APO GLYBURIDE TAB 2.5MG; DIN 01913654; fetched 2026-09-10 Product monograph posted by Health Canada; excerpt for lookup only.
