Pharmacology
Indication: For use as an adjunct to diet to lower the blood glucose in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (Type II) whose hyperglycemia cannot be satisfactorily controlled by diet alone.
Pharmacology:
Tolazamide is an oral blood glucose lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Tolazamide appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The mechanism by which tolazamide lowers blood glucose during long-term administration h...

Mechanism of Action:
Sulfonylureas likely bind to ATP-sensitive potassium-channel receptors on the pancreatic cell surface, reducing potassium conductance and causing depolarization of the membrane. Depolarization stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels, raising intracellular concentrations of calcium ions, which induces the secretion, ...

Absorption: Rapidly and well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
Biotransformation: Tolazamide is metabolized to five major metabolites ranging in hypoglycemic activity from 0 to 70%.
Route of elimination: Tolazamide is metabolized to five major metabolites ranging in hypoglycemic activity from 0% to 70%. They are excreted principally in the urine.
Half Life: The average biological half-life of the drug is 7 hours.
Toxicity: Overdosage of sulfonylureas can produce hypoglycemia. Severe hypoglycemic reactions with coma, seizure, or other neurological impairment occur infrequently, but constitute medical emergencies requiring immediate hospitalization.
Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
Interactions
Drug interaction:
PindololThe beta-blocker, pindolol, may decrease symptoms of hypoglycemia.
PhenylbutazonePhenylbutazone increases the effect of the hypoglycemic agent
OxprenololThe beta-blocker, oxprenolol, may decrease symptoms of hypoglycemia.
AmifostineAdditive hypotensive effects may occur. At chemotherapeutic doses of Amifostine, Tolazamide should be withheld for 24 hours prior to Amifostine administration. Use caution at lower doses of Amifostine.
Acetylsalicylic acidAcetylsalicylic acid increases the effect of the sulfonylurea, tolazamide.
