Diabetes pills sometimes stop working after a few months or years. If your pills stop working, a different treatment may be necessary. A category of diabetes medication known as sulfonylurea may cause skin rash, especially in people who are allergic to sulfa antibiotics. The rash is seldom serious and goes away when the drug is stopped. Tell your doctor if you develop a rash.
Diabetes medications can interact with other drugs.
