    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Hematology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus management often involves oral hypoglycemic agents.
    • Chlorpropamide, a first-generation sulfonylurea, is used to lower blood glucose levels.
    • Adverse drug reactions can complicate treatment regimens.

    Observation:

    • A newly diagnosed diabetic patient presented with acute weakness and syncope.
    • The patient had recently been initiated on chlorpropamide therapy.
    • These symptoms necessitated emergency medical admission.

    Findings:

    • In vitro diagnostic testing confirmed chlorpropamide-induced hemolytic anemia.
    • Discontinuation of chlorpropamide led to the patient's clinical recovery.
    • This case highlights a rare but serious adverse effect of chlorpropamide.

    Implications:

    • Physicians should consider drug-induced hemolysis in diabetic patients on chlorpropamide presenting with unexplained anemia or syncope.
    • Awareness of this potential adverse effect is crucial for patient safety.
    • Alternative glycemic control strategies may be warranted in susceptible individuals.
