Glipizide + Metformin

Glipizide + Metformin is a prescription diabetes medicine that combines two drugs to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Glipizide helps the pancreas release more insulin, while metformin lowers sugar made by the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin.

It is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control. This medicine is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Common safety points include the risk of low blood sugar, stomach upset, and the need to use it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
