How it Works

How Glipizide and Metformin Work Glipizide is a sulfonylurea that increases the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower blood glucose levels. Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and enhances the body's sensitivity to insulin.

  • Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
    • Deep or rapid breathing
