Proglycem Information
Proglycem is a derivative of benzothiadiazine. The drug is used to manage hypoglycemia which may be due to hyper-insulinism that may be associated with several conditions. These conditions may include islet cell-carcinoma and extra-pancreatic malignancy in adults. It may also include islet cell-hyperplasia, leucine sensitivity, extra-pancreatic malignancy, islet-cell carcinoma or nesidioblastosis in children and infants. Thus, the generic drug can be used in treatment of infants, children, as well as adult patients. The drug acts by preventing the insulin from releasing from the pancreas. The drug can be bought from any leading pharmacy stores as discount Proglycem. However, it requires a prescription from the doctor.
