Is Glyburide Micronize Safe In The Long Run?
We have been advised by the pharmacy that is connected with our health insurance that we should probably change my husband s diabetic meds from glyburide micronize to something else due to the fact that he is now 82 years old. He has taken it for years and years and seems to getting along well with it. It has something to do with low sugar count. Can you enlighten us?
