WHAT GLIPIZIDE IS USED FOR
Glipizide
is
used
to
treat
diabetes (Type II, non-insulin-
dependent
diabetes)
and
helps
to
lower
your
blood
glucose
(sugar) levels, when a change in
diet
alone
is
not
enough
to
control the condition.
HOW GLIPIZIDE WORKS
Glipizide is one of a group of
medicines
called
sulphonylureas.
Diabetics
produce too much glucose due
to a lack of insulin in the body.
This
can
be
controlled
by
Glipizide,
which
reduces
high
blood glucose (sugar) levels by
increasing insulin production.
BEFORE YOU USE GLIPIZIDE
_-When you must not take it _
• allergic
to
any
of
the
ingredients
in
Glipizide
or
have
previously
had
an
allergic reaction to glipizide
or another similar antidiabetic
drug.
• have
insulin-dependent
diabetes (also called juvenile
or
Type
I
diabetes)
which
would have probably started
in your childhood.
• have ketone bodies and sugar
in your urine (this may mean
you
may
have
diabetic
ketoacidosis).
• suffer
from
episodes
of
unconsciousness
(this
may
mean you may have diabetic
coma).
• have
problems
with
your
kidneys or liver.
• are
pregnant,
planning
to
become
pregnant
or
breast
feeding.
• are
currently
