What is Glipizide (generic Glipizide XL) and what are its uses?

Glipizide is in a class of drugs called sulfonylureas. Glipizide is used to help control blood sugar levels.

Glipizide is used to treat type 2 diabetes along with diet, exercise, and insulin therapy, if necessary.

How does Glipizide (generic Glipizide XL) treat?

Glipizide is an antidiabetic medication, which is used in those patients with adult maturity onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM).
