Dianben

Brand names:Glucophage, Dianben, Metformin

Generic name: Metformin Hydrochloride

Why is Dianben prescribed?

Dianben is an oral antidiabetic medication used to treat type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes. Diabetes develops when the body proves unable to burn sugar and the unused sugar builds up in the bloodstream. Glucophage lowers the amount of sugar in your blood by decreasing sugar production and absorption and helping your body respond better to its own insulin, which promotes the burning of sugar. It does not, however, increase the body's production of insulin. Dianben is sometimes prescribed along with insulin or certain other oral antidiabetic drugs such as Micronase or Glucotrol. It is also used alone.

Dianben tablets are taken two or three times daily.

Always remember that Dianben is an aid to, not a substitute for, good diet and exercise. Failure to follow a sound diet and exercise plan can lead to serious complications such as dangerously high or low blood sugar levels. Remember, too, that Dianben is not an oral form of insulin and cannot be used in place of insulin.

Most important fact about Dianben

Dianben could cause a very rare,but potentially fatal,side effect known as lactic acidosis. It is caused by a buildup of lactic acid in the blood. The problem is most likely to occur in people whose liver or kidneys are not working well, and in those who have multiple medical problems, take several medications, or have congestive heart failure. The risk also is higher if you are an older adult or drink alcohol. Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency that must be treated in a hospital.

Notify your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following:

Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include:

Dizziness, extreme weakness or tiredness, light-headedness, low body temperature, rapid breathing or trouble breathing, sleepiness, slow or irregular heartbeat, unexpected or unusual stomach discomfort, unusual muscle pain.

How should you take Dianben?

Do not take more or less of Dianben than directed by your doctor. Dianben should be taken with food to reduce the possibility of nausea or diarrhea, especially during the first few weeks of therapy.

If you miss a dose of Dianben

Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.

Storage instructions for Dianben

Store it at room temperature.

What side effects when taking Dianben may occur?

Side effects of Dianben cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Dianben.

If side effects from Dianben occur, they usually happen during the first few weeks of therapy. Most side effects of Dianben are minor and will go away after you've taken Dianben for a while.

More common side effects when taking Dianben may include:

Abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, gas, headache, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, weakness

Less common side effects when taking Dianben may include:

Abdominal distention, abnormal stools, altered sense of taste, chest discomfort, chills, constipation, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, flushing, increased sweating, low blood sugar, light-headedness, muscle pain, nail disorders, pounding heartbeat, rash, shortness of breath, upper respiratory infection

Why should Dianben not be prescribed?

Dianben is processed primarily by the kidneys, and can build up to excessive levels in the body if the kidneys aren't working properly. It should be avoided if you have kidney disease or your kidney function has been impaired by a condition such as shock, blood poisoning, or a heart attack.

You should not use Dianben if you need to take medicine for congestive heart failure.

Do not take Dianben if you have ever had an allergic reaction to metformin.

Do not take Dianben if you have metabolic or diabetic ketoacidosis (a life-threatening medical emergency caused by insufficient insulin and marked by excessive thirst, nausea, fatigue, pain below the breastbone, and fruity breath). Diabetic ketoacidosis should be treated with insulin.

Special warnings about Dianben

Before you start therapy with Dianben, and at least once a year thereafter, your doctor will do a complete assessment of your kidney function. If you develop kidney problems while on Dianben, your doctor will discontinue Dianben. If you are an older person, you will need to have your kidney function monitored more frequently, and your doctor may want to start you at a lower dosage.

You should not take Dianben for 2 days before and after having an X-ray procedure (such as an angiogram) that uses an injectable dye. Also, if you are going to have surgery, except minor surgery, you should stop taking Dianben. Once you have resumed normal food and fluid intake, your doctor will tell you when you can start Dianben therapy again.

Avoid drinking too much alcohol while taking Dianben. Heavy drinking increases the danger of lactic acidosis and can also trigger an attack of low blood sugar.

Because poor liver function could increase the risk of lactic acidosis, your doctor may decide to check your liver function before prescribing Dianben and periodically thereafter. If you develop liver problems, your doctor may stop treatment with Dianben.

If you are taking Dianben, you should check your blood or urine periodically for abnormal sugar (glucose) levels. Your doctor will do annual blood checks to see if Dianben is causing a vitamin B12 deficiency or any other blood problem.

Dianben does not usually cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). However, it remains a possibility, especially in older, weak, and undernourished people and those with kidney, liver, adrenal, or pituitary gland problems. The risk of low blood sugar increases when Dianben is combined with other diabetes medications. The risk is also boosted by missed meals, alcohol, and excessive exercise. To avoid low blood sugar, you should closely follow the diet and exercise plan suggested by your doctor.

If your blood sugar becomes unstable due to the stress of a fever, injury, infection, or surgery, your doctor may temporarily take you off Dianben and ask you to take insulin instead.

You should stop taking Dianben if you become seriously dehydrated, since this increases the likelihood of developing lactic acidosis. Tell your doctor if you lose a significant amount of fluid due to vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or some other condition.

The effectiveness of any oral antidiabetic, including Dianben, may decrease with time. This may occur because of either a diminished responsiveness to Dianben or a worsening of the diabetes.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Dianben

If Dianben is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered.

It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Dianben with the following:

Amiloride (Moduretic)
Calcium channel blockers (heart medications) such as Calan, Isoptin, and Procardia
Cimetidine (Tagamet)
Decongestant, airway-opening drugs such as Sudafed and Ventolin
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Estrogens such as Premarin
Furosemide (Lasix)
Glyburide (Micronase)
Isoniazid (Rifamate), a drug used for tuberculosis
Major tranquilizers such as Thorazine
Morphine
Niacin (Niaspan)
Nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia)
Oral contraceptives
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Procainamide (Procanbid, Pronestyl)
Quinidine (Quinidex)
Quinine
Ranitidine (Zantac)
Steroids such as prednisone (Deltasone)
Thyroid hormones such as Synthroid
Triamterene (Dyazide, Dyrenium)
Trimethoprim (Bactrim, Septra)
Vancomycin (Vancocin)
Water pills (diuretics) such as HydroDIURIL, Dyazide, and Moduretic

Do not drink too much alcohol, since excessive alcohol consumption can cause low blood sugar and alcohol enhances some effects of Dianben.

Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. Dianben should not be taken during pregnancy. Since studies suggest the importance of maintaining normal blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy, your doctor may prescribe insulin injections instead. It is not known whether Dianben appears in human breast milk. Therefore, women should discuss with their doctors whether to discontinue Dianben or to stop breastfeeding. If Dianben is discontinued and if diet alone does not control glucose levels, then your doctor may consider insulin injections.

Recommended dosages for Dianben

Your doctor will tailor your dosage to your individual needs.

ADULTS
The usual starting dose is one 500-milligram tablet twice a day, taken with morning and evening meals. Your doctor may increase your daily dose by 500 milligrams at weekly intervals, based on your response up to a total of 2,000 milligrams.

An alternative starting dose is one 850-milligram tablet a day, taken with the morning meal. Your doctor may increase this by 850 milligrams at 14-day intervals, to a maximum of 2,550 milligrams a day.

The usual maintenance dose ranges from 1,500 to 2,550 milligrams daily. If you take more than 2,000 milligrams a day, your doctor may recommend that the medication be divided into three doses, taken with each meal.

CHILDREN

For children 10 to 16 years old, the usual starting dose is one 500-milligram tablet twice a day with meals. The dosage may be increased by 500 milligrams at weekly intervals up to a maximum of 2,000 milligrams daily. Dianben has not been tested in children younger than 10.

OLDER ADULTS

Older people and those who are malnourished or in a weakened state are generally given lower doses of Dianben because their kidneys may be weaker, making side effects more likely.

Overdosage with Dianben

An overdose of Dianben can cause lactic acidosis. If you suspect a Dianben overdose, seek emergency treatment immediately.
