Glipizide is a short-acting, second-generation, blood-glucose-lowering agent belonging to the sulfonylurea class that increases the release of endogenous insulin from β-cells by blocking potassium channels. The drug-formulated version of Glipizide, marketed as Glucotrol or under generic label, is most commonly prescribed to lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes. Glipizide is rapidly absorbed, has a very quick onset of action and a short half-life. This agent is extensively metabolized in the liver and the metabolites as well as the unchanged form are excreted in the urine.
