Glipizide extended-release capsules

Function and Efficacy

This product is a sulfonylurea antidiabetic drug, which is effective for most patients with type 2 diabetes. It can reduce fasting and postprandial blood sugar and reduce glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) by 1%-2%. The main function of this type of drug is to stimulate the pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin, but the prerequisite is that the pancreatic beta cells still have a certain function of synthesizing and secreting insulin. Its mechanism is to specifically bind to the sulfonylurea receptors on the beta cell membrane, thereby closing the K channel, causing changes in membrane potential, opening the Ca2 channel, and increasing the intracellular Ca2, which promotes insulin secretion. In addition, there are extra-pancreatic effects, including improving the insulin resistance of peripheral tissues (such as liver, muscle, and fat).

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: Not yet clear. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: 1. Animal experiments and clinical observations have shown that sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs can cause stillbirth and fetal malformation, so pregnant women are prohibited from using them. 2. This type of animal can be excreted through breast milk, so nursing mothers should not use it to avoid hypoglycemia in infants. Precautions for the elderly: Not yet clear.

Drug Interactions

1. This drug can increase its hypoglycemic effect when used in combination with coumarins, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, phenylbutazone, sulfonamides, chloramphenicol, cyclophosphamide, probenecid, and salicylic acid drugs. 2. When used in combination with adrenaline, adrenocortical hormones, oral contraceptives, and thiazide diuretics, its hypoglycemic effect can be reduced. 3. Be cautious when using it in combination with beta-blockers. 4. Gastrointestinal diseases that shorten the retention time of this product in the gastrointestinal tract can affect the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of this product.
