Medication Safety Issues


Sound-alike/look-alike issues:

ChlorproPAMIDE may be confused with chlorproMAZINE

Diabinese may be confused with DiaBeta

High alert medication:

The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) includes this medication among its
list of drugs which have a heightened risk of causing significant patient harm when
used in error.

Geriatric Patients: High-Risk Medication:

Beers Criteria: Chlorpropamide is identified in the Beers Criteria as a potentially


inappropriate medication to be avoided in patients 65 years and older (independent of
diagnosis or condition) because of its prolonged half-life in older adults, which may
cause prolonged hypoglycemia. In addition, chlorpropamide may cause syndrome of
inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) (Beers Criteria [AGS 2015]).
Note: Updates for the American Geriatrics Society 2019 Updated AGS Criteria for
Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults are in process.

Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA): Chlorpropamide is identified as a high-risk


medication in patients 65 years and older on the PQA's Use of High-Risk Medications
in the Elderly (HRM) performance measure, a safety measure used by the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Star Rating System for Medicare plans.

International issues:

Diabinese [Multiple international markets] may be confused with Diamox brand name
for acetazolamide [Canadan, multiple international markets]

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Cardiovascular mortality: Product labeling states oral hypoglycemic drugs may be


associated with an increased cardiovascular mortality as compared to treatment with
diet alone or diet plus insulin. Data to support this association are limited, and several
studies, including a large prospective trial (UKPDS 1998), have not supported an
association. In patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
(ASCVD), other agents are preferred (ADA 2019).

• Hypoglycemia: All sulfonylurea drugs are capable of producing severe hypoglycemia.


Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur when caloric intake is deficient, after severe or
prolonged exercise, when ethanol is ingested, or when more than one glucose-
lowering drug is used. It is also more likely in elderly patients, malnourished patients
and in patients with impaired renal or hepatic function; use with caution. Autonomic
neuropathy, advanced age, and concomitant use of beta-blockers or other
sympatholytic agents may impair the patient’s ability to recognize the signs and

4 of 13 04/18/2019, 9:15 AM
Chlorpropamide: Drug information - UpToDate https://www.uptodate.com/contents/chlorpropamide-drug-information/...

symptoms of hypoglycemia; use with caution.

• Sulfonamide (“sulfa”) allergy: The FDA-approved product labeling for many


medications containing a sulfonamide chemical group includes a broad
contraindication in patients with a prior allergic reaction to sulfonamides. There is a
potential for cross-reactivity between members of a specific class (eg, two antibiotic
sulfonamides). However, concerns for cross-reactivity have previously extended to all
compounds containing the sulfonamide structure (SO2NH2). An expanded
understanding of allergic mechanisms indicates cross-reactivity between antibiotic
sulfonamides and nonantibiotic sulfonamides may not occur or at the very least this
potential is extremely low (Brackett 2004; Johnson 2005; Slatore 2004; Tornero 2004).
In particular, mechanisms of cross-reaction due to antibody production (anaphylaxis)
are unlikely to occur with nonantibiotic sulfonamides. T-cell-mediated (type IV)
reactions (eg, maculopapular rash) are less well understood and it is not possible to
completely exclude this potential based on current insights. In cases where prior
reactions were severe (Stevens-Johnson syndrome/TEN), some clinicians choose to
avoid exposure to these classes.

Disease-related issues:

• Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency: Patients with G6PD


deficiency may be at an increased risk of sulfonylurea-induced hemolytic anemia;
however, cases have also been described in patients without G6PD deficiency during
postmarketing surveillance. Use with caution and consider a nonsulfonylurea
alternative in patients with G6PD deficiency.

• Stress-related states: It may be necessary to discontinue therapy and administer


insulin if the patient is exposed to stress (fever, trauma, infection, surgery).

Other warnings/precautions:

• Long half-life: Patients should be properly instructed in the early detection and
treatment of hypoglycemia; long half-life may complicate recovery from excess effects.

• Secondary failure: Loss of efficacy may be observed following prolonged use as a


result of the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus which results in continued beta cell
destruction. In patients who were previously responding to sulfonylurea therapy,
consider additional factors which may be contributing to decreased efficacy (eg,
inappropriate dose, nonadherence to diet and exercise regimen). If no contributing
factors can be identified, consider discontinuing use of the sulfonylurea due to
secondary failure of treatment. Additional antidiabetic therapy (eg, insulin) will be
required.

Pregnancy Risk Factor


C (show table)

Pregnancy Implications
Chlorpropamide crosses the placenta and measurable serum concentrations can be found in
infants exposed in utero. Severe hypoglycemia lasting 4 to 10 days has been noted in infants
born to mothers taking a sulfonylurea (including chlorpropamide) at the time of delivery;
additional adverse events have also been reported and may be influenced by maternal
glycemic control (Jackson 1962; Kemball 1970; Uhrig 1983; Zucker 1968).

In women with diabetes, maternal hyperglycemia can be associated with congenital


malformations as well as adverse effects in the fetus, neonate, and the mother (ACOG 2005;
ADA 2018c; Metzger 2007). To prevent adverse outcomes, prior to conception and throughout
pregnancy maternal blood glucose and HbA1c should be kept as close to target goals as
possible but without causing significant hypoglycemia (ADA 2018c; Blumer 2013). Agents other
than chlorpropamide are currently recommended to treat diabetes in pregnant women (ADA
2018c). The manufacturer recommends if chlorpropamide is used during pregnancy, it should
be discontinued at least 1 month before the expected delivery date.

Breast-Feeding Considerations
Chlorpropamide is present in breast milk. Breastfeeding is not recommended by the
manufacturer.

Chlorpropamide: Drug information - UpToDate https://www.uptodate.com/contents/chlorpropamide-drug-information/...

Dietary Considerations
May cause GI upset; take with food.

Monitoring Parameters
Blood glucose, HbA1c (at least twice yearly in patients who have stable glycemic control and
are meeting treatment goals; quarterly in patients not meeting treatment goals or with therapy
change [ADA 2018a]); monitor for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia (fatigue, sweating,
blurred vision)

Reference Range

Recommendations for glycemic control in nonpregnant adults with diabetes (ADA 2018a):

HbA1c: <7% (a more aggressive [<6.5%] or less aggressive [<8%] HbA1c goal may be
targeted based on patient-specific characteristics)

Preprandial capillary plasma glucose: 80 to 130 mg/dL (more or less stringent goals
may be appropriate based on patient-specific characteristics)

Peak postprandial capillary blood glucose: <180 mg/dL (more or less stringent goals
may be appropriate based on patient-specific characteristics)

Recommendations for glycemic control in older adults (≥65 years) with diabetes (ADA
2018b):

HbA1c: <7.5% (healthy); <8% (complex/intermediate health); <8.5% (very


complex/poor health) (individualization may be appropriate based on patient and
caregiver preferences)

Preprandial capillary plasma glucose: 90 to 130 mg/dL (healthy); 90 to 150 mg/dL


(complex/intermediate health); 100 to 180 mg/dL (very complex/poor health)

Bedtime capillary blood glucose: 90 to 150 mg/dL (healthy); 100 to 180 mg/dL
(complex/intermediate health); 110 to 200 mg/dL (very complex/poor health)
