Glipizide
Glipizide is a sulfonylurea medicine commonly used to help manage blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by encouraging the pancreas to release insulin. It may be used alongside diet, physical activity, and other diabetes care measures as directed by a prescriber.
In Canada, all represented products require a prescription.
Glipizide options we offer
The key choice is between an immediate-release tablet and an extended-release tablet. Glucotrol is available as a 5 mg tablet, while Glucotrol XL is an extended-release tablet available in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg strengths. Extended-release tablets are designed to release the medicine gradually and should be used according to the directions supplied with your prescription.
| Product | Form and strengths | Package quantities | Price range | Lowest price per tablet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glucotrol | Tablet; 5 mg | 30, 90, or 180 tablets | C$50.40 to C$117.60 | C$0.65 |
| Glucotrol XL | Extended-release tablet; 2.5 mg, 5 mg, or 10 mg | 30 to 360 tablets, depending on strength | C$15.40 to C$870.80 | C$0.23 |
Choosing between the forms
- Glucotrol: an immediate-release 5 mg tablet offered in 30-, 90-, and 180-tablet packages. The 180-tablet package is listed at C$117.60, with a lowest listed unit price of C$0.65 per tablet.
- Glucotrol XL: an extended-release option with a wider selection of strengths and package quantities. For 2.5 mg, packages range from 30 to 270 tablets; the 270-tablet package is listed at C$61.60, with a lowest listed unit price of C$0.23 per tablet. The 5 mg strength is available in packages from 30 to 360 tablets, and the 10 mg strength in packages from 90 to 360 tablets.
Your prescribed strength and the intended release form are important: do not substitute an immediate-release tablet for an extended-release tablet, or vice versa, unless your prescriber or pharmacist tells you to do so. Because glipizide can lower blood glucose, follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and ask about symptoms of low blood glucose and what to do if they occur.
