Antidiabetic

Glipizide is an oral antidiabetic medication primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here's a summary of its usage: Primary Use: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Glipizide helps control blood sugar levels in people whose bodies still produce insulin but do not use it effectively (insulin resistance). Mechanism of Action: It is a sulfonylurea, which works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. It also improves insulin sensitivity to a lesser extent. How It's Taken: Usually taken once or twice daily, 30 minutes before a meal, to optimize insulin response. Dosage varies depending on the individual's blood sugar levels and response. Common Brand Names: Glucotrol (immediate-release) Glucotrol XL (extended-release) Important Considerations: Not used for type 1 diabetes. Can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if meals are skipped. Should be used cautiously in the elderly and those with liver or kidney issues.
