Glipizide + Metformin

Glipizide + Metformin is a combination medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Glipizide belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, which help to lower blood sugar levels by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas. Metformin belongs to a class of drugs known as biguanides, which help to lower blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin. Combining these two medications can have a synergistic effect in controlling blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes.
