Metaglip

Metaglip is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: glipizide and metformin. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control. Glipizide is a sulfonylurea medication that helps the pancreas release more insulin, while metformin helps the body respond better to insulin and reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Metaglip is typically prescribed for those who have not achieved adequate blood sugar control with diet and exercise alone.
