Some patients may be effectively controlled on a once-a-day regimen, while others show better response with divided dosing. Total daily doses above 15 mg should ordinarily be divided. Total daily doses above 30 mg have been safely given on ab.i.d.basis to long-term patients. In elderly ...
Therefore, dosing should be conservative to avoid hypoglycemia [see Dosage and Administration (2.1), Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. 8.6 Hepatic Impairment There is no information regarding the effects of hepatic impairment on the disposition of glipizide. However, ...

This leads to a once a day dosing that is much less than the first generation, about 100 fold. Mechanism of action is produced by blocking potassium channels in the beta cells of the islets of langerhans. By partially blocking the potassium channels, it will increase the time the cell ...

The present study was also aimed to develop a system that would reduce the frequency of dosing and thus increases patient compliance. Cellulose acetate was used as a film forming polymer. PEG 400 was used as plasticizer. Potassium chloride was used as pore forming agent. Acetone and methanol ...
Patients administering sustained-release glipizide had less hypoglycemia (Peto odds ratio 0.21, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.52) and lower missed dosing (Peto odds ratio 11. 42, 95% CI 6.47 to 20.18). The cohort studies showed patient compliance results consistent with those of the trials....
