Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sulfonylureas are oral hypoglycemic agents used in the treatment of diabetes. Sulfonamides can potentiate the effects of sulfonylureas, leading to an increased risk of hypoglycemia. This is because sulfonylureas stimulate insulin secretion, and sulfonamides can displace them from binding sites, leading to increased insulin release and hypoglycemia. Therefore, choice B - Hypoglycemia - is the correct answer.
