Orinase


Generic Name: tolbutamide (tole BUE ta mide)

Brand Names: Orinase


What is Orinase (tolbutamide)?

Tolbutamide is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medication helps your pancreas produce insulin.


Tolbutamide is used together with diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes. Other diabetes medicines are sometimes used in combination with tolbutamide if needed.


Tolbutamide should not be used by itself to treat type 1 diabetes.

Tolbutamide may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.


What is the most important information I should know about Orinase (tolbutamide)?


Do not use this medication if you are allergic to tolbutamide, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis. Call your doctor for treatment with insulin.

Before taking tolbutamide, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, a disorder of your pituitary or adrenal glands, an enzyme deficiency called G6PD, a history of heart disease, or if you are malnourished.


Take care not to let your blood sugar get too low. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can occur if you skip a meal, exercise too long, drink alcohol, or are under stress. Symptoms include headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating. Carry hard candy or glucose tablets with you in case you have low blood sugar. Other sugar sources include orange juice and milk. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency.


Also watch for signs of blood sugar that is too high (hyperglycemia). These symptoms include increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need to adjust your tolbutamide dose.


Tolbutamide is only part of a complete program of treatment that may also include diet, exercise, weight control, and testing your blood sugar. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Changing any of these factors can affect your blood sugar levels.


What should I discuss with my doctor before taking Orinase (tolbutamide)?


Do not use this medication if you are allergic to tolbutamide, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis. Call your doctor for treatment with insulin.

To make sure you can safely take tolbutamide, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:


  • liver disease;

  • kidney disease;


  • a disorder of your pituitary or adrenal glands;




  • an enzyme deficiency called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD);




  • a history of heart disease; or




  • if you are malnourished.

Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treating your diabetes with tolbutamide. FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether tolbutamide will harm an unborn baby.

You should not breast-feed while you are taking tolbutamide.

How should I take Orinase (tolbutamide)?


Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.


Follow your doctor's instructions about how often to take tolbutamide, and whether or not you should take it with food.

Always keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Sugar sources include orange juice, glucose gel, candy, or milk. If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use an injection of glucagon. Your doctor can give you a prescription for a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to give the injection.
