Chlorpropamide, sold under the brand name Diabinese among others, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes.[2] It is used together with diet and exercise.[2] It is a second line treatment.[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects include headache, dizziness, numbness, abdominal discomfort, weight gain, and nausea.[1][2] Other side effects may include low blood sugar and liver problems.[1][2] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[2] It is a first generation sulfonylurea and works by increasing the release of insulin.[2][1][3]

Chlorpropamide was approved for medical use in the United States in 1958.[2] Commercial sale has been discontinued in the United States.[4]
