Does anyone have side effects from Gliclazide?

Does anyone have side effects from Gliclazide? Since I started being prescribed it I have lost my libido. I also have ED since being on this medication. Has anyone else had similar effects? It could also be because of my age. I am almost 69 years old.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Diabetes & Endocrine System Support Group.

Do you mean glipizide?

I’ve just started Glimepiride, which is in the same family as Gliclazide (and Glipizide). I haven’t noticed any issue with libido. But it is a different drug— just the same effect of increased insulin production. Of course, the whole diabetes situation has been a downer in general. So, maybe I had little to lose! 😉

I was put on glimepiride 1 mg after putting me on hydrocortisone until my right adrenal kicks in. Already on 2000 mg of metformin and 100 mg januvia. Only side effect I've had is from the hydrocortisone
