Gluconrom is used to reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes (the kind that does not require insulin shots). It’s prescribed when diet and exercise alone fail to correct the problem. A combination of Gluconorm and a second diabetes drug called Glucophage can be prescribed if either drug alone proves insufficient.

ADULTS

Take Gluconorm before each meal. The recommended dose ranges from 0.5 milligram to 4 milligrams. If you have never taken a glucose-lowering medication before you should start with the 0.5-milligram dose. If you have taken these drugs in the past the starting dose is 1 or 2 milligrams. Take no more than 16 milligrams a day.

Dose Adjustment

Your dose of Gluconorm will be adjusted according to your fasting blood sugar levels. Your doctor will wait at least a week after each change in dose to check your response.

Switching to Gluconorm

When Gluconorm replaces another oral glucose-lowering medicine you should start taking it the day after your final dose or the previous drug. Be alert for signs of low blood sugar; effects of the drugs may overlap.

Combination Therapy:

If Gluconorm is being added to Glucophage therapy you should begin with a 0.5-milligram dose. Dosage will then be adjusted according to your blood glucose levels.
