Description

Glucotrol XL is an anti-diabetic agent used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin-dependent diabetes) in patients whose blood sugar cannot be controlled to a satisfactory extent by a diet and exercise alone. This extended-release medicine is composed of Glipizide, an insulin secretagogue belonging to a sulfonylurea drug class. It assists in a blood sugar-lowering process by causing the pancreas to secrete more insulin (a natural substance needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body utilize it efficiently. Glucotrol XL therapy also benefits in decreasing insulin resistance and inhibiting hepatic glucose production. It can be administered either alone, in combination with insulin or other diabetes medicines. The medication may also be used as an off-label drug in the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus that develops in women during pregnancy.

Indications

Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults where a proper diet and exercise regimen has failed to maintain an adequate blood sugar level.

The medicine is also used in an off-label way in the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women who are not able to control their blood sugar levels by a diet and exercise alone.

MOA (mechanism of action)

Glipizide is an anti-diabetic medication classed as a ‘second-generation’ sulfonylurea with a potent hypoglycemic activity exerted in its ability to promote the production of insulin by beta cells of the pancreas. The active substance binds to ATP-sensitive potassium channel receptors on the pancreatic cell surface which causes a reduction in a degree of potassium conductance, and thus, leads to the membrane depolarization. This depolarization opens up voltage-sensitive calcium channels and rises concentrations of intracellular calcium ions, resulting in an increased secretion of insulin. Glipizide’s extrapancreatic effect is exerted in rising peripheral insulin sensitivity, decreasing the amount of glycated hemoglobin in the bloodstream, and lowering the rates of hepatic glucose production.

Dosage

Glucotrol XL is formulated as a once-a-day extended-release tablet for oral use and is to be administered with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. The tablets should be swallowed whole. Do not break, crush, chew, or cut it in half, as this will damage the tablet and release too much medicine into the body at one time.

Maximum dose: 20 mg once per day.

In elderly, debilitated or malnourished patients and those with impaired renal or hepatic function, the initial and maintenance dosing should be conservative and adjusted by a doctor in order to avoid undesirable hypoglycemic reactions. The blood and urine sugar should be tested regularly to sustain the optimum dose and monitor the patient’s response to the therapy. While on Glucotrol XL tablets, it is recommended to follow a proper diet and exercise program and not to skip meals. Continue to take the tablets even if you feel better unless you are advised otherwise by your doctor.

Missed dose

If you miss a dose you should take it with your next meal. If you do not remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses on the same day to make up for a forgotten one.

Overdose

If an overdose occurs and you are feeling unwell, you should seek emergency medical attention or contact your healthcare provider immediately. If you are experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia, you should raise your blood sugar right away by consuming oral glucose (e.g., a small bar of sugar cubes, sweet juice, sweetened tea).

Storage

Store at room temperature under 30°C (86°F) away from excess moisture and heat. Throw away any unused medicine after the expiration date. Keep out of the reach of children.

Do not use the medicine if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus, diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious diabetes mellitus complication when cells in the body are unable to get the glucose they need for energy as there is not enough insulin).

Do not give the medication to patients in a diabetic pre-coma or coma (a life-threatening diabetes complication that causes unconsciousness).

Be careful with the use of Glucotrol XL while taking some medications which may interrupt with your diabetes mellitus control.
