What is glipizide ER and how does it work?
Glipizide extended-release (ER) is an oral medicine in the sulfonylurea class, sold under the brand name Glucotrol XL. It is approved as an addition to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control, meaning it helps lower blood sugar, in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is not used for type 1 diabetes or for diabetic ketoacidosis. Sulfonylureas work by helping the pancreas release more insulin.
The "ER" (extended-release) formulation releases the medicine slowly over the day, so it is usually taken just once daily. The tablet has a non-absorbable shell that stays intact as the drug is released; it is normal to sometimes see the empty shell in your stool. Swallow the tablet whole and do not crush or chew it.
Glipizide ER cost and coupons without insurance
Glipizide ER is available as a generic, which is one reason its cash price tends to be low compared with brand-name diabetes drugs. Even so, the price you pay can differ widely depending on which pharmacy you use, so it pays to compare before you fill. There is no manufacturer savings card for this generic; the savings come from finding the best cash price near you.
Rx.com shows live prices and free coupons across more than 60,000 pharmacies. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price on glipizide ER in your area, then bring the coupon to the pharmacy counter. If your prescriber wrote it for the brand, you can also compare Glucotrol XL to see the difference.
Glipizide ER alternatives and related medicines
Glipizide ER is one of several oral options for type 2 diabetes. Which one is right for you is a decision for you and your provider, but it can help to know the common alternatives when comparing prices:
- Glipizide — the immediate-release form of the same drug, usually taken before meals.
- Glimepiride and Glyburide — other sulfonylureas that also lower blood sugar by prompting insulin release.
- Metformin and Metformin ER — a different class often used as a first-line diabetes medicine.
All of these are commonly available as generics. Use the ZIP search above to compare live cash prices on any of them across the pharmacies near you.
Glipizide ER safety and side effects
This is general information, not medical advice, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your own situation. The current label for glipizide ER has no boxed warning. The most important risk is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which is more likely with missed meals, alcohol use, kidney or liver problems, or in older or debilitated people. Severe low blood sugar can cause confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness, so it is worth knowing the warning signs. Glipizide can also cause weight gain.
Take the ER tablet whole; do not crush or chew it, and do not be alarmed if the empty tablet shell appears in your stool. Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight) can occur. Rare hemolytic anemia has been reported in people with G6PD deficiency, and, as with sulfonylureas generally, a possible increase in cardiovascular mortality has historically been discussed. Use extra caution if you have reduced kidney or liver function or are elderly. Tell your provider about all your other medicines and conditions before starting.
