Uses for Glipizide

Diabetes Mellitus

Used alone or in fixed combination with metformin as an adjunct to diet for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (noninsulin-dependent) in patients whose hyperglycemia cannot be controlled by diet alone.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.95 120 127 128 129 130 139 154 155 157 158 161 159 160 161 162 164

Alternative therapy in some type 2 diabetic patients being treated with insulin.1 2 52 54 Useful in combination with insulin therapy to improve glycemic control and/or decrease insulin dosage in some type 2 diabetic patients.2 67

Not effective as sole therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus; insulin is necessary.

Not effective as sole therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by acidosis, ketosis, or coma.1 2

Glipizide Dosage and Administration

General

  • Adjust dosage according to tolerance and urine and/or fasting blood glucose determinations.1 Monitor glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c, HbA1c) to determine minimum effective dosage or detect primary or secondary failure.1 95 153

Administration

Oral Administration

Administer extended-release or conventional tablets once daily, generally with breakfast.1 95 1 Administer conventional tablets approximately 30 minutes before a meal.1 11 32

Administer glipizide in fixed combination with metformin once daily with a meal.153

Some patients may have a more satisfactory response when conventional oral 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

Dosage

Adults

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, dosage adjustment should be based on at least 2 similar consecutive fasting glucose concentrations obtained at least 7 days after the previous dose adjustment.95

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

When transferring, administer the nearest equivalent total daily dosage once daily.95 Alternatively, 5 mg once daily as extended-release tablets and titrate dosage.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.1 95

Patients being transferred from a sulfonylurea agent with a longer half life (e.g., chlorpropamide) should be closely monitored for the occurrence of hypoglycemia during the initial 1–2 weeks.1 95 A drug-free interval of 2–3 days may be advisable 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

Initially, 5 mg once daily, if insulin requirements were ≤20 units daily.1 Abruptly discontinue insulin.1

5 mg once daily if insulin requirements were >20 units daily, and reduce insulin dosage by 50%.1 Withdraw insulin gradually and adjust glipizide dosage in increments of 2.5–5 mg daily at intervals of at least several days.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 Most patients require 5–25 mg daily as conventional tablets27 39 40 41 42 43 44 50 51 52 53 54 56 57 58 59 60 or 5–10 mg daily as extended-release tablets, but higher dosages may be necessary.7 25 95

Combination Therapy with Other Oral Antidiabetic Agents
Oral

When added to therapy with other antidiabetic agents, the glipizide extended-release tablets may be initiated at a dosage of 5 mg daily.95 Base titration on clinical judgment.95

Fixed combination: 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), 2.5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride twice daily.153

Dosage may be increased 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, 10 mg of glipizide and 2 g of metformin hydrochloride.153

In previously treated patients with inadequate glycemic control with monotherapy, 2.5 or 5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride twice daily with the morning and evening meals.153

The initial dosage of the fixed combination should not exceed the daily dosage of glipizide or metformin hydrochloride previously received.153

Titrate upward in increments not exceeding 5 mg of glipizide and 500 mg of metformin hydrochloride until adequate glycemic control is reached.153

Maximum daily dosage, 20 mg of glipizide and 2 g of metformin hydrochloride in previously treated patients.153

For patients previouly receiving 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 Such patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia following the switch.153 In the transfer, the decision to switch to the nearest equivalent dosage or to titrate dosage is based on clinical judgment.153

Prescribing Limits

Warnings/Precautions

Warnings

Cardiovascular Effects

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

General Precautions

Hypoglycemia

Reported infrequently; usually mild;2 27 50 58 59 60 Possible severe hypoglycemia, especially geriatric patients, malnourished patients, and those with adrenal, pituitary, hepatic, or renal insufficiency.1 27 70 71 Strenuous exercise, alcohol ingestion, insufficient caloric intake, or use in combination with other antidiabetic agents may increase risk.1

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

Concurrent Illness

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

GI Disease

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, and contraindications associated with metformin.

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

15–30 minutes.6 32 33

Duration

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

Food

Food delays the absorption of conventional tablets but does not affect peak serum concentrations achieved or the extent of absorption of the drug.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

Peak plasma concentrations of glipizide following adminsitration in fixed combination with metformin hydrochloride with food are delayed by 1 hour.153

Food does not affect the glycemic response or the time to absorption of extended-release tablets.95 Peak blood concentrations following administation of extended-release tablets and food are 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

Severe renal impairment may decrease the renal excretion of and increase the terminal elimination half-life of glipizide metabolites.37

Stability

Storage

Oral

Tablets (conventional)

Tight, light-resistant containers90 at a temperature <30°C.1

Tablets (extended-release)

15–30°C; protect from moisture and humidity.95

Tablets (fixed-combination)

Actions

  • Sulfonylurea antidiabetic agent.1 2 3

  • Lowers blood glucose concentration in diabetic and nondiabetic individuals.2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  • Stimulates secretion of postprandial endogenous insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas.1 2 3 5 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  • During prolonged administration, extrapancreatic effects such as enhanced peripheral sensitivity to insulin and reduction of basal hepatic glucose production contribute to the hypoglycemic action.3 5 7 8 10 12 13 14 16 17 23 24

Advice to Patients

  • Importance of regular clinical and laboratory evaluations, including blood and urine glucose determinations.1

  • Importance of adherence to diet and exercise regimen.1

  • Understanding of primary and secondary failure to oral sulfonylurea antidiabetic agents.1

  • Risks of hypoglycemia, the symptoms and treatment of hypoglycemic reactions, and conditions that predispose to the development of hypoglycemic reactions.1

  • Importance of informing clinicians of existing or contemplated concomitant therapy, including prescription and OTC drugs.1

  • Importance of women informing clinicians if they are or plan to become pregnant or plan to breast-feed.1

  • Importance of informing patients of other important precautionary information. (See Cautions.)
