Close Show
Alcohol and Sulfonylureas(Glyburide, Micronized)
Alcohol may interfere with the actions of Antidiabetic agents (Insulin or other drugs used to treat Diabetes).

Close Show
Tobacco and Sulfonylureas(Glyburide, Micronized)
If you use tobacco or are trying to quit tobacco use, you may need to monitor your blood sugar more frequently. Nicotine, a component of tobacco, can increase the blood sugar. Also, if you are trying to quit smoking, as your body adjusts to not smoking, your blood sugar levels may change; the actions of Antidiabetic Agents (medicines used to treat diabetes) may be increased and this could lead to low blood sugar. Know the symptoms of low or high blood sugar and report them if they occur. Monitor your blood sugar regularly.
