- Pharmacodynamics
Tolazamide is an oral blood glucose lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class. Tolazamide appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The mechanism by which tolazamide lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been clearly established. With chronic administration in Type II diabetic patients, the blood glucose lowering effect persists despite a gradual decline in the insulin secretory response to the drug. Extrapancreatic effects may be involved in the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs. Some patients who are initially responsive to oral hypoglycemic drugs, including tolazamide, may become unresponsive or poorly responsive over time. Alternatively, tolazamide may be effective in some patients who have become unresponsive to one or more other sulfonylurea drugs. In addition to its blood glucose lowering actions, tolazamide produces a mild diuresis by enhancement of renal free water clearance.
- Mechanism of action
Sulfonylureas likely bind to ATP-sensitive potassium-channel receptors on the pancreatic cell surface, reducing potassium conductance and causing depolarization of the membrane. Depolarization stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels, raising intracellular concentrations of calcium ions, which induces the secretion, or exocytosis, of insulin.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Tolazamide may decrease the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a higher serum level. Abatacept The metabolism of Tolazamide can be increased when combined with Abatacept. Abrocitinib The metabolism of Abrocitinib can be decreased when combined with Tolazamide. Acarbose The risk or severity of hypoglycemia can be increased when Acarbose is combined with Tolazamide. Acebutolol The therapeutic efficacy of Tolazamide can be increased when used in combination with Acebutolol. - Food Interactions
- Avoid excessive or chronic alcohol consumption. Ingesting alcohol may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
- Take with food. Taking tolazamide with breakfast may help reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
