Introduction

Antidiabetic agent; sulfonylurea.1 2 3

Uses for Glipizide

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.1 2 3 19 27 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 95

Used in combination with one or more other oral antidiabetic agents or insulin as an adjunct to diet and exercise in patients who do not achieve adequate glycemic control with diet, exercise, and oral antidiabetic agent monotherapy.120 127 128 129 130 139 153 154 155 157 158 161 159 160 161 162 164

Used in fixed combination with metformin as initial therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose hyperglycemia cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone and as second-line therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control with either sulfonylurea or metformin monotherapy.153

Current guidelines for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus generally recommend metformin as first-line therapy in addition to lifestyle modifications in patients with recent-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus or mild hyperglycemia due to its well-established safety and efficacy (e.g., beneficial effects on glycosylated hemoglobin [hemoglobin A1c; HbA1c], weight, and cardiovascular mortality).698 704 705

In patients with metformin contraindications or intolerance (e.g., risk of lactic acidosis, GI intolerance) or in selected other patients, some experts suggest that initial therapy with a drug from another class of antidiabetic agents (e.g., a glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] receptor agonist, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 [SGLT2] inhibitor, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 [DPP-4] inhibitor, sulfonylurea, thiazolidinedione, basal insulin) may be acceptable based on patient factors.698 704

May need to initiate therapy with 2 agents (e.g., metformin plus another drug) in patients with high initial HbA1c (>7.5% or ≥1.5% above target).698 704 In such patients with metformin intolerance, some experts suggest initiation of therapy with 2 drugs from other antidiabetic drug classes with complementary mechanisms of action.698 704

Consider early initiation of combination therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to extend the time to treatment failure and more rapidly attain glycemic goals.704

For patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy, consider patient comorbidities (e.g., atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD], established kidney disease, heart failure), hypoglycemia risk, impact on weight, cost, risk of adverse effects, and patient preferences when selecting additional antidiabetic agents for combination therapy.698 699 704 705 706

Consider early introduction of insulin for severe hyperglycemia (e.g., blood glucose of ≥300 mg/dL or HbA1c >9–10%), especially if accompanied by catabolic manifestations (e.g., weight loss, hypertriglyceridemia, ketosis) or symptoms of hyperglycemia.698 704

Manufacturer states that glipizide is not recommended for use in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.95 707

Glipizide Dosage and Administration

General

Administration

Oral Administration

Administer extended-release or conventional (immediate-release) tablets once daily, generally with breakfast or the first main meal of the day.1 95 1 Administer conventional tablets approximately 30 minutes before a meal.1 11 32

Administer the fixed combination of glipizide and metformin once daily with a meal.153

Some patients may have a more satisfactory response when conventional tablets are administered in 2 or 3 divided doses daily.1 2 11 44 50 51 52 53 54 57 58 59 60 When dosage exceeds 15 mg daily as conventional tablets, administer in divided doses before meals of sufficient caloric content.1 2 59

Extended-release tablets should be swallowed whole and should not be divided, chewed, or crushed.95

Administer glipizide at least 4 hours prior to colesevelam when drugs given concomitantly.1 95 (See Specific Drugs under Interactions.)

Dosage

Adults

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Initial Dosage in Previously Untreated Patients
Oral

Conventional or extended-release tablets: Initially, 5 mg daily.1 95 Titrate dosage of conventional tablets in increments of 2.5–5 mg daily at intervals of at least several days1 (usually 3–7 days).2 51 54 59 60 Maximum once daily dosage, 15 mg.1

For extended-release tablets, titrate dosage based on the patient's glycemic control.95

Initial Dosage in Patients Transferred from Conventional to Extended-release Glipizide Tablets
Oral

When transferring, administer the nearest equivalent total daily dosage of the extended-release tablets once daily.95

Initial Dosage in Patients Transferred from Other Oral Antidiabetic Agents
Oral

Individualize initial dosage of glipizide; usually 5–10 mg daily.90 92 The other oral antidiabetic agent may be discontinued abruptly; no transition period generally required.1 95

It has been recommended that patients being transferred from a sulfonylurea agent with a longer half-life (e.g., chlorpropamide [no longer commercially available in the US]) be closely monitored during the initial 1–2 weeks due to potential for overlapping drug effects.1 A drug-free interval of 2–3 days has been advised before glipizide therapy is initiated as conventional tablets in patients being transferred from chlorpropamide, particularly if blood glucose concentration was adequately controlled with chlorpropamide.90 92

Initial Dosage in Patients Transferred from Insulin
Oral

Insulin requirement ≤20 units daily: Initially, 5 mg of glipizide once daily.1 May discontinue insulin abruptly.1

Insulin requirement >20 units daily: Initially, 5 mg of glipizide once daily and reduce insulin dosage by 50%.1 Withdraw insulin gradually and adjust daily glipizide dosage at intervals of at least several days according to tolerance and response.1

Maintenance Dosage
Oral

Maintenance dosage varies considerably, ranging from 2.5–40 mg daily.1 2 7 27 39 40 41 42 43 44 50 51 52 53 54 56 57 58 59 60

Conventional tablets: Generally, 5–25 mg daily.27 39 40 41 42 43 44 50 51 52 53 54 56 57 58 59 60

Extended-release tablets: Generally, 5–10 mg daily.7 25 95

Combination Therapy with Other Oral Antidiabetic Agents
Oral

When added to therapy with other antidiabetic agents, may initiate glipizide extended-release tablets at a dosage of 5 mg daily.95 May use lower initial dosages in patients at risk for hypoglycemia.95

May initiate fixed combination of 2.5 mg of glipizide and 250 mg of metformin hydrochloride once daily with a meal in treatment-naive patients.153

For more severe hyperglycemia (i.e., fasting plasma glucose concentrations of 280–320 mg/dL), consider 2.5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride as fixed combination twice daily.153 Efficacy of fixed combination in patients with fasting plasma glucose concentrations >320 mg/dL not established.153

May increase dosage of fixed combination in increments of one tablet153 (using the tablet strength at which therapy was initiated, either 2.5 mg glipizide/250 mg metformin hydrochloride or 2.5 mg glipizide/500 mg metformin hydrochloride)163 daily every 2 weeks until the minimum effective dosage required to achieve adequate glycemic control is reached.153

Maximum daily dosage of fixed combination in treatment-naive patients is 10 mg of glipizide and 2 g of metformin hydrochloride given in divided doses.153

In previously treated patients with inadequate glycemic control on sulfonylurea (e.g., glipizide) or metformin monotherapy, initiate fixed-combination therapy with 2.5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride or 5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride twice daily with the morning and evening meals.153

To minimize hypoglycemia risk, do not exceed the initial daily dosage of glipizide or metformin hydrochloride already being taken.153

Titrate dosage upward in increments not exceeding 5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride until adequate glycemic control or a maximum daily dosage of 20 mg of glipizide and 2 g of metformin hydrochloride is reached in patients on sulfonylurea or metformin monotherapy.153

For patients being switched from therapy with both glipizide (or another sulfonylurea antidiabetic agent) and metformin, the initial dosage of the fixed-combination preparation should not exceed the daily dosages of glipizide (or equivalent dosage of another sulfonylurea) and metformin hydrochloride currently being taken.153 158 Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia following the switch.153 In the transfer, base decision on whether to switch to the nearest equivalent dosage or to titrate dosage on clinical judgment.153

Prescribing Limits

Detailed Glipizide dosage information

Cautions for Glipizide

Contraindications

Warnings/Precautions

Hypoglycemia

Reported infrequently; usually mild.2 27 50 58 59 60

Possible severe and/or prolonged hypoglycemia, especially in geriatric or malnourished patients and those with adrenal, pituitary, hepatic, or renal insufficiency.1 27 70 71 Strenuous exercise, alcohol ingestion (see Interactions), insufficient caloric intake, or use in combination with other antidiabetic agents (see Interactions) may increase hypoglycemia risk.1 Severe hypoglycemia can lead to unconsciousness or seizures; may result in temporary or permanent impairment of brain function or death.95

Appropriate patient selection and careful attention to dosage are important to avoid glipizide-induced hypoglycemia.

Loss of Glycemic Control

Possible loss of glycemic control during periods of stress (e.g., fever of any cause, trauma, infection, surgery).1 2

Temporary discontinuance of glipizide and administration of insulin may be required.1

Hematologic Effects

Hemolytic anemia may develop in patients with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency who receive sulfonylureas; consider a non-sulfonylurea antidiabetic agent in patients with G6PD deficiency.1

Cardiovascular Effects

Possible increased cardiovascular mortality reported with other sulfonylurea antidiabetic agents (i.e., tolbutamide or phenformin).1 75 However, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has stated that the benefits of intensive glycemic control with insulin or sulfonylureas outweigh the risks overall.97 107 113

Macrovascular Outcomes

Manufacturer states that no clinical studies have conclusively established macrovascular risk reduction with glipizide or any other antidiabetic drug.95

GI Obstruction

Use extended-release tablets with caution in patients with severe preexisting GI narrowing, since obstruction may occur.95

Use of Fixed Combinations

When use in fixed combination with metformin hydrochloride, consider the cautions, precautions, contraindications, and interactions associated with metformin.153

Specific Populations

Pregnancy

Category C.1

Sulfonylureas cross the placenta and have been associated with neonatal adverse reactions (e.g., hypoglycemia); prolonged, severe hypoglycemia reported in some neonates born to women receiving sulfonylureas up to time of delivery.95 Observe neonates for symptoms of hypoglycemia and respiratory distress and manage accordingly.95

Many experts recommend that insulin be used during pregnancy.1 95

Lactation

Not known whether glipizide is distributed into milk;1 discontinue nursing or the drug.1

If glipizide used during breast-feeding, monitor infants for signs of hypoglycemia (e.g., jitters, cyanosis, apnea, hypothermia, excessive sleepiness, poor feeding, seizures).95

Pediatric Use

Safety and efficacy not established.1 95 153 However, ADA has stated that most pediatric diabetologists use oral antidiabetic agents in children with type 2 diabetes mellitus because of greater compliance and convenience and lack of evidence demonstrating better efficacy of insulin for type 2 diabetes mellitus.117

Geriatric Use

Increased risk of hypoglycemia.1 27 71 95 Cautious and conservative dosing recommended.1 27 71 95 (See Geriatric Patients under Dosage and Administration.)

Hepatic Impairment

Increased risk of hypoglycemia.1 27 71 95 Cautious and conservative dosing recommended.1 27 71 95 (See Hepatic Impairment under Dosage and Administration.)

Glipizide Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

Bioavailability

Absorption is essentially complete; 1 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 80–100% of an oral dose may be absorbed.30 31 95

Onset

Conventional tablets: 15–30 minutes.6 32 33

Duration

Conventional tablets: In nonfasting diabetic patients, the hypoglycemic action may persist for up to 24 hours.1 39 40 41 42 43 44

Food

Glipizide conventional tablets: Food delays absorption but does not affect peak serum concentrations or extent of absorption.32 33 Peak serum concentrations following administration of conventional tablets generally are delayed 20–40 minutes in the nonfasting state compared with the fasting state.1 32 33

Fixed combination of glipizide and metformin: Food delays peak plasma glipizide concentration by 1 hour.153

Glipizide extended-release tablets: Food does not affect glycemic response or time to absorption.95 Peak blood concentration following administration of extended-release tablets with food increased.95

Distribution

Extent

Following IV administration in mice, distributed into the liver and blood, with lower concentrations in the lungs, kidneys, adrenals, myocardium, salivary glands, and retroscapular fat.45 In humans, small amounts of glipizide are apparently distributed into bile30 34 37 and very small amounts are distributed into erythrocytes and saliva.30

Not known if glipizide is distributed into milk.1

Plasma Protein Binding

92–99%.30 34 36 46 95

Elimination

Metabolism

Appears to be almost completely metabolized, 30 34 35 36 37 mainly in the liver.1

Elimination Route

Glipizide and its metabolites are excreted principally in urine30 34 35 36 37 (60–90%) and to a lesser extent in feces (5–20%).30 34 35 37 95

95

Half-life

Terminal elimination half-life of glipizide averages 3–4.7 hours following oral administration in patients with normal renal and hepatic function.9 30 31 32 33 34 35 38 39 48

Terminal elimination half-life of total glipizide metabolites ranges from 2–6 hours.37

Special Populations

Renal or hepatic impairment may increase serum glipizide concentrations and reduce elimination.1 37 95
