Dymelor (Acetohexamide) most important facts:ahealthyme:"Know the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, sweating, tremor, and nausea. Carry a piece of hard candy or glucose tablets with you to treat episodes of low blood sugar. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Changing any of them can affect your blood sugar levels. Do not increase your dose without first talking to your doctor. Avoid alcohol. It lowers blood sugar and may interfere with your diabetes treatment" http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/topic100588414 Dymelor (Acetohexamide) Who is this for? :drugdigest:"Acetohexamide is used to treat type II (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes (formerly "adult-onset"), particularly in people whose diabetes cannot be controlled by diet alone. Acetohexamide lowers blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin and helping the body use insulin efficiently. The pancreas must produce insulin for this medication to work. Acetohexamide is not used to treat type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes (formerly "juvenile-onset"). This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information." http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,3915,10|Dymelor,00.html Dymelor (Acetohexamide) advanced consumer information:drugs.com:"Many people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood sugar level with diet or diet and exercise alone. Following a diabetes diet plan and exercising will always be important with any type of diabetes. To work properly, the amount of sulfonylurea you use must be balanced against the amount and type of food you eat and the amount of exercise you do. If you change your diet, your exercise, or both, you will want to test your blood sugar level so that it does not drop too low (hypoglycemia) or rise too high (hyperglycemia). Your health care professional will teach you what to do if this happens." http://www.drugs.com/xq/cfm/pageID_0/htm_202742/type_cons/bn_Dymelor/micr_medex/qx/index.htm Before Using Dymelor (Acetohexamide):medlineplus:"In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For sulfonylurea medicines, the following should be considered: Allergies--Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to sulfonylureas, or to sulfonamide-type (sulfa) medicines, including thiazide diuretics (a certain type of water pill). Also tell your health care professional if you are allergic to any other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes. Pregnancy--Sulfonylureas are rarely used during pregnancy. The amount of insulin you need changes during and after pregnancy. For this reason, it is easier to control your blood sugar using injections of insulin, rather than with the use of sulfonylureas. Close control of your blood sugar can reduce your chance of having high blood sugar during the pregnancy and of your baby gaining too much weight, or having birth defects. Be sure to tell your doctor if you plan to become pregnant or if you think you are pregnant. If insulin is not available or cannot be used and sulfonylureas are used during pregnancy, they should be stopped at least 2 weeks before the delivery date (one month before for chlorpropamide and glipizide). Lowering of blood sugar can occur as a rebound effect at delivery and for several days following birth and will be watched closely by your health care professionals." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/antidiabeticagentssulfonylurea202742.html Dymelor (Acetohexamide) contraindications:Mayo clinic:"Alcohol -- When low blood sugar occurs, it may last longer than usual if more than a small amount of alcohol is taken, especially on an empty stomach. Small amounts of alcohol at mealtime usually do not cause problems with your blood sugar but may cause a redness (called flushing) in the face, arms, and neck that can be uncomfortable. This can occur with most of the sulfonylureas but is most likely to occur with chlorpropamide and has occurred up to 12 hours after alcohol was taken during chlorpropamide use Anticoagulants (blood thinners) -- The effect of either the blood thinner or the antidiabetic medicine may be increased or decreased if the two medicines are used together Aspirin or other salicylates or Azole antifungals (miconazole [e.g., Monistat I.V.], fluconazole [e.g., Diflucan]) or Chloramphenicol (e.g., Chloromycetin) or Cimetidine (e.g., Tagamet) or Fluouroquinolones (ciprofloxacin [e.g., Cipro], enoxacin [e.g., Penetrex], lomefloxacin [e.g., Maxaquin], norfloxacin [e.g., Noroxin], ofloxacin [e.g., Floxin]) or Quinidine (e.g., Quinidex) or Quinine or" http://www.mayoclinic.com/findinformation/druginformation/druginvoke.cfm?objectid=00041B49-84B0-1B79-AB8080AEBC2F0839& What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Dymelor (Acetohexamide):rxlist:"Before taking acetohexamide, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease; have liver disease; have thyroid disease; have Type 1 diabetes mellitus (insulin-dependent diabetes); have a serious infection, illness, or injury; or need surgery. You may not be able to take acetohexamide, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. Acetohexamide is in the FDA pregnancy category D. This means that acetohexamide is known to be harmful to an unborn baby. Insulin is usually the drug of choice for controlling diabetes during pregnancy. Do not take acetohexamide without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether acetohexamide passes into breast milk. Do not take acetohexamide without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby " http://www.rxlist.com/frame/display.cgi?drug=DYMELOR Dymelor (Acetohexamide) side effects:health.msn.com:"Hypoglycemia or Low blood sugar has the following symptoms: shaking; headache; cold sweats; pale, cool skin; anxiety; and difficulty concentrating. Keep hard, sugary candy; chocolate; fruit juice; or glucose tablets on hand to treat episodes of low blood sugar. Increased blood sugar may occur when not enough acetohexamide is taken; if you eat significantly more food then usual; if you exercise less than usual; if you take other medications; during fever or other illness; and in other situations. Hyperglycemia or High blood sugar has the following symptoms: increased thirst, increased hunger, and increased urination. There may be an increased risk of death due to cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels) complications with the use of acetohexamide when compared to the treatment of diabetes with diet or diet plus insulin. The long-term use of acetohexamide should be discussed with your doctor." http://content.health.msn.com/content/article/4046.1213#sideeffects Dymelor (Acetohexamide) Precautions:ElizJack@IntNet.Net:"Tell your doctor your complete medical history, especially if you have high blood pressure or liver or kidney disease. Your medicine may need to be changed. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication. It can cause facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness or stomach pain. This medication may make you more prone to sunburn. Wear protective clothing and a sunscreen. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are pregnant. Insulin therapy may be necessary during pregnancy. Some oral antidiabetic medication appears in breast milk. Consult with your doctor before breast-feeding." http://members.aol.com/lowcarbs/diabetes/meds/aceto.htm Search Nursing Diabetics http://www.nursingdiabetics.com/A-Z_list/ ******************************************************

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."
