Introduction
Antidiabetic agent; sulfonylurea.189 a
Uses for Chlorpropamide
Diabetes Mellitus
Used as monotherapy as an adjunct to diet and exercise for management of type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in patients whose hyperglycemia cannot be controlled with diet and exercise alone.189 a
Used as second-line therapy in combination with one or more other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin as an adjunct to diet and exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in whom adequate glycemic control cannot be achieved with oral antidiabetic agent monotherapy.135 145 146 147 148 149 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180
Alternative therapy in some type 2 diabetic patients being treated with insulin or other antidiabetic agent(s).189 a Useful in combination with insulin to improve glycemic control and/or decrease insulin dosage in some type 2 diabetic patients.135 145 146 150 151 153 154 155 156 157 158
Not effective as sole therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic acidosis, ketosis, or coma; 101 103 106 insulin is necessary.101 102 106 (See Contraindications under Cautions.)
Not routinely recommended in hospitalized patients with diabetes mellitus.122 Long duration of action precludes rapid dosage adjustments.122 Increased risk of hypoglycemia in hospitalized diabetic patients with irregular eating patterns.122
Chlorpropamide Dosage and Administration
General
Adjust dosage according to severity of disease, tolerance, and blood glucose determinations.189 a
Monitor regularly (e.g., blood glucose concentrations) to determine minimum effective dosage and to detect primary failure or secondary failure.189 a (See Loss of Glycemic Control under Cautions.)
Monitor glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to determine patient’s continued response to therapy.189
Administration of loading dose is not recommended.189 a
During transfer from insulin therapy, patients should test their blood glucose concentrations ≥3 times daily.189 (See Advice to Patients.) Early hypoglycemia (≤24 hours) following transfer from intermediate or long-acting insulins usually results from insulin carry-over rather than from chlorpropamide.189 a In some patients, consider hospitalization during transition period.189 a
Administration
Oral Administration
Administer orally as a single daily dose each morning with breakfast.189 a May administer in 2 divided doses if GI intolerance occurs.189 a
Dosage
Adults
Diabetes Mellitus
Initiation
Oral
Initially, 250 mg daily.189 a
Initial Dosage in Patients Transferred from Other Oral Antidiabetic Agents
Oral
Initially, 250 mg daily.189 a May abruptly discontinue the other oral antidiabetic agent.189 a
Initial Dosage in Patients Transferred from Insulin
Oral
Insulin requirements ≤40 units daily: Initially, 250 mg daily.189 a Abruptly discontinue insulin.189 a
Insulin requirements >40 units daily: Initially, 250 mg daily; reduce daily insulin dosage by 50% for first few days.189 a Subsequently, adjust insulin dosage according to therapeutic response.189 a
Titration and Maintenance Dosage
Oral
5–7 days after initiating therapy, titrate dosage in increments or decrements of ≤50–125 mg daily at 3- to 5-day intervals to achieve adequate glycemic control; more frequent dosage adjustments usually undesirable.189
Usual maintenance dosage is 100–500 mg daily.189 a Patients not responding to 500 mg daily are unlikely to respond to higher dosages.189 a
Prescribing Limits
Adults
Diabetes Mellitus
Oral
Maximum 750 mg daily.189 a
Special Populations

Geriatric Patients
Initially, 100–125 mg daily.189 Use conservative initial and maintenance dosages to avoid hypoglycemia.189 (See Geriatric Use under Cautions.)
Debilitated or Malnourished Patients
Use conservative initial and maintenance dosages to avoid hypoglycemia.189
Pituitary or Adrenal Insufficiency
Use conservative initial and maintenance dosages to avoid hypoglycemia.189
Cautions for Chlorpropamide
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity to chlorpropamide or any ingredient in formulation.189
Diabetic ketoacidosis with or without coma.189 a
Monotherapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus.189 a
Warnings/Precautions
Warnings
Cardiovascular Effects
Increased cardiovascular mortality reported with certain other antidiabetic agents (i.e., tolbutamide, phenformin).111 189 d However, ADA considers benefits of intensive glycemic control with insulin or sulfonylureas to outweigh the risks overall.112 115 128
General Precautions
Hypoglycemia
Possible severe hypoglycemia, especially in geriatric, debilitated, or malnourished patients and those with adrenal, pituitary, hepatic, or renal insufficiency.189 a d Increased risk of hypoglycemia with strenuous exercise, alcohol ingestion, insufficient caloric intake, or concurrent drug use (e.g., other antidiabetic agents, agents that enhance hypoglycemic effects).189 d (See Specific Drugs under Interactions.)
Higher incidence of hypoglycemia at therapeutic dosages with chlorpropamide than other sulfonylureas;c may result from prolonged duration of action.c d (See Duration under Pharmacokinetics.)
Hypoglycemia may be difficult to recognize in geriatric patients and those receiving β-adrenergic blocking agents.189
Appropriate patient selection and careful dosing and instructions are important to avoid chlorpropamide-induced hypoglycemia.189
Hypoglycemia may result in coma, seizures, or other neurologic impairment.189 a d
If hypoglycemia occurs, immediately reevaluate patient and adjust insulin or chlorpropamide dosage.a Monitor patient for 24–48 hours;189 may require hospitalization and IV glucose.189 a Carefully supervise dose and give frequent feedings for ≥3–5 days.189
Loss of Glycemic Control
Possible loss of glycemic control during periods of stress (e.g., fever, trauma, infection, surgery).101 102 105 106 189 May require use of insulin and/or temporary discontinuance of chlorpropamide.189 a
Efficacy of therapy may decrease over time (secondary failure); evaluate patients at regular intervals.189 a
Assess patient for adequate adjustment of dose and adherence to diet before attributing inadequate response to secondary failure of the drug.189
Manufacturer recommends discontinuance of chlorpropamide if loss of satisfactory glycemic control develops.189 ADA and other clinicians recommend addition of other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin.127 146 173 175 184 185 186 191 192 (See Diabetes Mellitus under Uses.)
Specific Populations

In healthy individuals, hypoglycemic action persists for ≥24 hours;189 longest duration of action of the sulfonylureas.a d
Food
Food does not appear to affect absorption or bioavailability; decreases peak serum concentrations of drug.b
Special Populations

Distribution
Extent
Sulfonylureas are distributed into extracellular fluids.a
Chlorpropamide crosses the placenta and is distributed into milk.189 (See Pregnancy under Cautions.)

Increased or decreased rate of elimination in alkaline or acidic urine, respectively.a c
Half-life
36 hours (range: 25–60 hours).189 a b c d
Special Populations
