Glucotrol (glipizide) is a sulfonylurea medication used to promote insulin secretion in type 2 diabetics when natural insulin secretion is impaired. The medication is sometimes sufficient on its own, but it's also common for it to be used in combination with other anti-diabetic treatments.

This medication should not be administered to patients under age 18 without explicit doctor approval; effects on this age group have not been studied. Elderly patients and those with impaired liver function may require adjusted doses. Patients who regularly take other medications, including over-the-counter medications and other anti-diabetic medications, should not buy Glucotrol before checking with a doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions; complications can occur.

If used as directed serious side effects from Glucotrol are quite rare.

Getting the Most from Glucotrol

For the most part treatment with Glucotrol is straightforward, but it will need to be personalized to some extent according to personal variables such as age, weight, other conditions present, other medications being taken, and, of course, response to treatment.

The medication is administered via tablet, about 30 minutes prior to a meal. For many patients a single dose before breakfast is all it takes. At higher doses the total daily dose is often divided into two or three smaller doses. Some individuals find even small doses more effective if divided into multiple doses taken throughout the day.

Treatment is typically as follows:

• Start with 5 mg taken 30 minutes prior to the first meal of the day. Blood glucose should be monitored closely for several days.
• After several days of monitoring, dosage may be increased in 2.5 to 5 mg increments if needed.
• If dosage increases past 15 mg, it should be divided into two smaller doses taken 30 minutes before the first and last meals of the day.
• Do not exceed 40 mg in one day without explicit doctor instruction.

It's important that blood glucose be monitored closely at the start of treatment and following any dosage adjustments. Patients should be alert for symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and be prepared to manage such incidents if they do occur.

As is the case with most diabetic treatments, lifestyle changes are also encouraged. Many patients find they need less reliance on insulin injections as treatment continues, and, if lifestyle changes are adhered to, patients may be able to discontinue use of medications entirely.

Precautions Before Use

Glucotrol is not the ideal choice for everyone; patients with certain other medical conditions are at increased risk of experiencing serious complications. Discuss potential risks and warning signs with a doctor before you buy Glucotrol if there is any history of:

• Kidney or liver damage
• Intestinal blockage
• Chronic diarrhea
• Heart disease
• Difficulty getting adequate nutrition
• Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

The effects of Glucotrol on unborn or nursing babies are unclear. Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive should consult a doctor about potential risks.

Do not buy Glucotrol to treat type 1 diabetes.
