Glibenclamide
For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.
Active substance: Glibenclamide
Examples of brand names: Euglucon [DE]
ATC code: A10BB01
Main use (for orientation): Type 2 diabetes
Documented research summary
Human ex-vivo placental perfusion and cell models show CBD-influenced glyburide transport, not a clinical pregnancy trial. Rat vascular experiment: THC-induced vasorelaxation was not inhibited by glibenclamide. No evidence establishing or excluding general combined hypoglycaemia risk.
Uncertainties and limitations
The abstract incorrectly expands the F/M ratio as female/male; no exact ratio adopted without the full text.
Older US label version documented; no current German market assessment.
PMC1576168 full-text retrieval returned HTTP 500; do not describe abstract access as full-text access.
Separately recorded findings
2 separately recorded findings. Each statement applies to its documented study context.
CBD – laboratory and animal studies
Finding ID: B0401
Type of result: Preclinical transport finding
Observation: CBD increased fetal glyburide penetration in the isolated perfused placenta model.
Mechanism: BCRP-related transport
Study type: Human placenta ex vivo and cell models
Context studied: Glyburide 200 ng/ml; 8 CBD-treated and 8 control cotyledons according to the abstract; additional BeWo/Jar cell experiments.
Clinical interpretation: Interpret within the stated study context; no independent dosage or treatment recommendation.
Limitations and uncertainties: Not a clinical investigation in pregnant women. Numerical F/M ratio not adopted because the abstract abbreviation was expanded incorrectly. Do not infer established fetal injury from this experiment.
Original sources for this finding: Cannabidiol enhances xenobiotic permeability through the human placental barrier by direct inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein: an ex vivo study. [BMED23933222]
THC – laboratory and animal studies
Finding ID: B0402
Type of result: Preclinical null finding
Observation: Glibenclamide did not block THC-induced mesenteric vasorelaxation in the model investigated.
Mechanism: KATP channel test
Study type: Isolated rat arteries
Context studied: Vascular pharmacology, not diabetes treatment.
Clinical interpretation: Interpret within the stated study context; no independent dosage or treatment recommendation.
Limitations and uncertainties: Full text inaccessible; limited null finding. No conclusion about glucose control or human safety.
