- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Symptoms include sweating, pallor, hunger, irregular or fast heartbeat and loss of consciousness. The symptoms disappear after intake of glucose or sugary drinks, followed by a snack or meal. If the patient does not respond to the ingestion of sugar or does not respond, immediately call the nearest emergency department. Never put anything in the mouth of an unconscious person!
Uncommon side effects:

These effects disappear when the drug is taken with food, as recommended.
Rare side effects
- Decreased number of red blood cells (anemia).
- Alterations in blood tests (which can cause paleness, prolonged bleeding, bruising, sore throat and fever), which usually disappear when treatment is stopped.
- skin reactions such as redness, itching, and hives (rash). severe skin reactions may also appear.
- Alteration of liver analysis, which can cause jaundice (yellowing of skin and whites of the eyes).
- Your vision may be affected for a short time, especially in early treatment. This effect is due to changes in levels of blood sugar.
These effects gradually disappear when you stop taking the medicine.
For other sulfonylureas have been described very rarely severe changes in the number of blood cells and allergic inflammation of the wall of blood vessels.
With other sulfonylureas have been observed signs and symptoms of hepatic impairment (eg jaundice) which disappears after the withdrawal of medication in most cases, but in isolated cases may lead to liver failure.
