Tolbutamide is an oral antidiabetic medication from the sulfonylurea class, used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
Tolbutamide is administered orally, usually once or twice daily, with the dose adjusted based on the patient's glycemic response. It is particularly indicated for patients with type 2 diabetes who cannot control blood sugar levels through diet and exercise alone.
Common side effects include hypoglycemia, nausea, weight gain, and allergic skin reactions. In rare cases, severe adverse reactions such as liver or hematological dysfunction may occur. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and other clinical parameters is essential during treatment.
