Glucotrol, glipizideChemical NameGlipizide Ingredients Active Ingredients: Glipizide Non-Active Ingredients: Colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, stearic acid. Indications Glucotrol is used with proper diet and exercise to treat Type II Diabetes. How It Works Glipizide works by blocking potassium channels in the beta cells of the islets of langerhans. By doing so it blocks potassium channels, increasing the time cell spends in the calcium release stage of cell signaling. The increase in calcium will initiate increased insulin release from each beta cell. Dosage Tablets (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg) The recommended initial dose of Glucotorol is 5 mg, given before breakfast. Geriatric patients or those with liver disease may be started on 2.5 mg. Dosage adjustments should ordinarily be in increments of 2.5-5 mg, as determined by blood glucose response. The maximum recommended once daily dose is 15 mg. Maintenance: Diabetes may be effectively controlled on a once-a-day regimen, while others show better response with divided dosing. Insulin replacement: For patients requiring 20 units or less, insulin may be discontinued and Glucotorol therapy may begin at usual dosages. For patients whose daily insulin requirement is greater than 20 units, the insulin dose should be reduced by 50% and Glucotorol therapy may begin at usual dosages. Precautions Glucotorol is contraindicated in people who have hypersensitivity to ingredients in Glucotorol, or the following conditions: kidney disease, liver disease, conditions that may cause a low level of oxygen in the blood or poor circulation, have had severe congestive heart failure, recent heart attack, recent stroke, metabolic acidosis, diabetic ketoacidosis (condition where there is no insulin in the body), serious infection, or severe loss of body fluids. Speak to a doctor if you have the following conditions, blood problems, lung disease, anemia, severe asthma (vitamin B12 deficiency), electrolyte imbalance, certain hormonal conditions (adrenal/pituitary insufficiency), thyroid disease, fertility problems, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone-SIADH. Hypoglycemia or hypoglycemic symptoms have occurred in patients using Glucovance, especially when strenuous exercise is not compensated by caloric supplementation, special attention is warranted to this concern. People with kidney dysfunction with high serum creatinine levels or people that have kidney failure should not use this medication. Matagrip can cause low PH in body tissue and blood. This will result in potentially fatal consequences.

Lactic acidosis is most likely to happen in people with kidney impairment or conditions that may cause a low oxygen blood level or poor circulation, people who have had a severe congestive heart failure, recent heart attack, recent stroke, heavy alcohol use, liver disease, or people suffering from dehydration.
