Glipizide is used to treat type 2 of diabetes and belongs to sulfonylurea class of drugs together with glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (Micronase, Diabeta), tolbutamide (Orinase) and tolazamide (Tolinase). It stimulates insulin secretion by beta-cells of pancreas.

The maximum dose is 40 mg daily. Maximum dose of extended release tablets should not exceed 20 mg daily. Take it with a full glass of water before a meal. The best result of treatment is achieved when this medication is taken on a regular basis.

Drug interaction

Alcohol delays effects of Glipizide by slowing its absorption. Glipizide should be administered 1-2 hours before cholestyramine as the latter affects its absorption. Fluconazole (Diflucan) increases absorption and effectiveness of Glipizide.
