What the FDA labels say about taking them together

Glyburide and letermovir

Letermovir's FDA label of January 14, 2026 names glyburide in its drug interactions section; the glyburide label PlainMeds reads does not name letermovir. The letermovir label: “When PREVYMIS is co-administered with glyburide, repaglinide, or rosiglitazone, frequently monitor glucose concentrations. When PREVYMIS is co-administered with cyclosporine, use of repaglinide is not recommended.”

Check it at the source: the glyburide FDA label on DailyMed (effective July 1, 2021, TEVA Pharmaceuticals USA Inc); the letermovir FDA label on DailyMed (effective January 14, 2026, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC).
