Effectiveness

How Tolazamide Affects PatientsTolazamide is a type of medication that helps to lower blood sugar levels. It does this by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. This effect usually lessens over time, so sometimes other medications may need to be used. Tolazamide may also be effective for people who have become unresponsive to other drugs in the same class. On top of lowering blood sugar levels, it also helps the body get rid of extra water.
How Tolazamide works in the bodySulfonylureas help your pancreas release insulin. They do this by blocking the flow of potassium in and out of the cells. This causes the cells to become more electrically charged, triggering an influx of calcium ions. The calcium ions signal the release of insulin from the pancreas.
