Acetohexamide

Acetohexamide is a sulfonylurea medication used to treat diabetes mellitus type 2, particularly in people whose diabetes cannot be controlled by diet alone. Acetohexamide lowers blood sugar by stimulating the pancreas to secrete insulin and helping the body use insulin efficiently. The pancreas must produce insulin for this medication to work. For this reason, acetohexamide is not used to treat Diabetes mellitus type 1. more...

Distinguishing generic look-alikes
From Nurse Practitioner, 3/1/02 by Cohen, Hedy

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has asked generic drug manufacturers to differentiate similar drug name pairs. For the past several years, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) has suggested using uppercase and lowercase letters (for example, chlorproMAZINE and chlorproPAMIDE) to distinguish drugs with look-alike names, especially when drugs share similar strengths.

The FDA sent letters to companies that manufacture acetazolamide, acetohexamide, chlorpropramide, clomipramine, daunorubicin, dobutamine, and dopamine, requesting that the companies use the uppercase and lowercase method.
