Intrahepatic cholestasis and cutaneous bullae associated with glibenclamide therapy

Abstract: SummaryIntrahepatic cholestasis and cutaneous bullae associated with glibenclamide therapy are described in a 61-year-old diabetic patient who presented with hypoglycaemic coma. These features have not previously been reported as side effects of glibenclamide therapy, but intrahepatic cholestasis may occur with chlorpropamide, a similar sulphonylurea agent. The mechanism of this cholestasis is not clear at present.

“…Whereas the prototype compounds such as carbutamide were associated with significant liver toxicity, subsequent generations of sulfonylureas such as chlorpropamide, glibenclamide, tolbutamide, and tolazamide have been occasionally implicated in liver toxicity (Table 3). [94][95][96][97][98][99][100] Recent additions include gliclazide 101,102 and glimepiride. 103 Fever, rash, and eosinophilia may be present, consistent with a hypersensitivity-related reaction.…”

“…En este sentido, la hiperglicemia puede ser tratada inicialmente con fármacos hipoglucemiantes como son metformina (Knowler et al, 2002) y glibenclamida (O´Sullivan & Cashman, 1970) entre otros (Zarate y Tene, 1999). Sin embargo, algunos de estos medicamentos tienden a producir algunos efectos secundarios (Wongpaitoon et al, 1981;Salper et al, 2003) y además son relativamente costosos para países en vías de desarrollo. Por lo tanto, se requiere de alternativas farmacológicas que ayuden al tratamiento de la diabetes, en este contexto, desde hace varias décadas se ha usado la medicina tradicional como una alternativa, que involucra el manejo de plantas con finalidades terapéuticas en los países que se encuentran en vías de desarrollo (Mahair & Gulliford, 1997;Funke et al, 2006).…”

“…He had been on Glyburide for three years [11]. Wongpaitoon et al described a case of intrahepatic cholestasis and cutaneous bullae after five months of using Glyburide [12]. In these case reports, liver enzymes normalized between one to two weeks after the medication was discontinued.…”
