Consumer:

Sulfonylureas are metabolized in the liver, and their metabolites (some with pharmacologic activity) are excreted in the urine and feces. Patients with impaired liver and/or renal function treated with sulfonylureas may be exposed to higher serum drug concentrations, which can increase the potential for severe hypoglycemic episodes induced by these agents. In the presence of hepatic impairment, gluconeogenic capacity may also be diminished, further compounding the risk. Therapy with sulfonylureas should be administered cautiously in patients with liver and/or renal disease. Reduced dosages and longer intervals between dosage adjustments may be required. Hypoglycemia, if it occurs during treatment, may be prolonged in these patients because of slowed metabolism and/or excretion of the drugs.
