Common questions about Chlorpropamide

Chlorpropamide is a medication in a class called sulfonylureas. These medications work by causing your body to release more insulin. Insulin is a natural hormone in your body that lowers your blood sugar.

This medication is no longer available in the United States, but might be available in other countries like Canada.

It's unclear why chlorpropamide was discontinued, but it's possible that it's because of the risk of dangerously low blood sugar levels and the rare, but serious, risk of hemolytic anemia. Hemolytic anemia causes your red blood cells to be destroyed faster than your body can make them, and you might feel dizzy, tired, or develop a fever.
