Glucotrol (active ingredient: glipizide) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Glucotrol is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and weight reduction alone are not adequate.

Glucotrol belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin and thereby lower blood glucose levels.

Glucotrol is available in tablet form in the strengths of 5 mg and 10 mg and is typically taken once daily before a meal. Take Glucotrol as directed by a healthcare provider and to follow a proper diet and exercise program in conjunction with its use.

Glucotrol (glipizide) is typically taken once daily, 30 minutes before breakfast or the first meal of the day. To reduce your risk of side effects, your doctor may direct you to start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is also recommended during treatment with Glucotrol to ensure that the medication is working effectively and to detect any potential complications.

The dosage will depend on the patient’s condition and response to treatment and is determined by a healthcare provider. Follow the dosing instructions provided by the healthcare provider and to not change the dosage or schedule without consulting them first.

  • Liver disease: Glucotrol is metabolized by the liver, so patients with liver disease may need to use this medication with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
  • Low blood sugar: Glucotrol can cause low blood sugar or hypoglycemia, which can be dangerous if left untreated. Patients should monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and be aware of the symptoms of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shaking, confusion, and dizziness.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Glucotrol?

If you miss a dose of Glucotrol, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Can Glucotrol be taken with other medications?

Check with a healthcare provider before taking Glucotrol with other medications, as certain drugs can interact with Glucotrol and cause unwanted side effects.

What happens if you take glipizide and don’t eat?

If you take glipizide without food, the medication tells your body to release insulin and your blood sugar can go dangerously low. This happens because food increases our blood sugar and our bodies’ natural response is to release insulin to lower blood sugar.

Is glipizide safe in pregnancy?

Glipizide is not a first-choice medication used in pregnancy to lower blood sugar because there are other safer medications that are recommended during pregnancy.
