User Reviews for glipizide oral

Just over a month ago, I developed extreme, excruciating pain in my left shoulder. This pain kept me awake at night. I also started feeling a numbness in my arm and swelling and numbness in my left index finger. I originally thought it was my exercise regimen, but I've been doing the same exercise for over 3 years. I realized that the onset of the pain occurred when I switched to the APO manufactured Glipizide (10mg). I stopped using the Glipizide, and after a month, the pain is almost gone, as is the swelling and numbness in my finger.Read More Read Less

This drug has not allowed me to get my blood sugar under control. I need to try a new medication.

Even wth a reduction from 10 to 5mg, I am still experiencing hypoglycemia within 4 hours of taking the pill, whether I've eaten a large meal or a snack. I feel that I really don't need it if my alc is less than 7 but i can't convince my doctor. I will ask doctor to discontinue for 3 months and see if my alc is still below 7, and then just continue monitoring it.

Had great results with blood sugar levels. Unfortunately realized I can't take it due to allergic reaction.

Have been taking this drug for 14 years with great sucess. Have had no side effects.;

Dr. switch me to Glipizide due to allergic reaction to various vendors version of Generic Metformin. The side effects caused by Glipizide include high blood sugar spikes, appetite suppression to which I ate one meal a day which in turn caused dizziness and fatigue, severe constipation which caused nausea and abdominal pain, constant thirst which led to water retention which led to bloating and painful swelling. Due to the swelling around my neck and the tingling sensation that I began to feel from my swelling feet all the way to left side of the chest, I discontinued using Glipizide. Began drinking cinnamon tea with no sugar to keep blood sugar level in control then went to Mexico to buy Glucophage to control my diabetes. So far I have no problems with Glucophage. I think the side effects from Glipizide might have killed my aunt, she starved to death and was in constant pain from the swelling. I wish I would have taken the drug before she did I would have realize the side effects and taken her off Glipizide.Read More Read Less

Having more hair loss than normal

I was taking Glucotrol XL 10 MG for about 7 years and was doing very well until they developed a generic version. Pfizer makes the Brand and Greenstone which is a subsidiary of Pfizer makes the Generic version Glipizide XL 10 MG. I took this for approximately 1 month and developed stomach pain, it did not bring down the sugar levels, and the pill was coming out whole in my bowel movement. I was put back on the Glucotrol and was doing okay until recently. Now I am getting the same symptoms as when I was taking the Glipizide. The Glucotrol Pill spelled out Glucotrol 10 which was Made by Pfizer, while the glipizide said GXL 10 on the pill Made by Greenstone a subsidiary of Phizer. The last three times I ordered the Glucotrol, I have been getting a pill marked GXL 10 in a bottle that says it was made (distributed) by Pfizer and I am now getting the same symptoms as I was getting when I took the Generic Glipizide. I am thinking they no longer make the Brand name and are sending me the one Marked GXL 10 with Glucotrol XL on the bottle. I am also paying $90. for a three month supply, as opposed to a $5.00 charge it would be for the generic pills.Read More Read Less

Does anyone know the manufacturer of this drug?

I have taken glipizide for years with no problems then in December 2013 I was in the hospital low sodium level (danger zone) vomiting stomach pain the doctor said maybe the glipizide he took me off the pill but now I can not keep my sugar level under control without it

want to know why I am taking glip with insulin injections (7units)None of the web sites address this, shame on you all

I take Metformin and my blood sugars were running about 150 to 165. I could not seem to get it lowered. My doctor gave me Glipizide 5 mg. Told me to take 1/2 a pill either in the morning or at night. I take it before bedtime and it has dramatically lowered my blood sugar.

my sugar levels are still high. I will have to call my doctor being the drug is not working.

Been using for ~2 months. Tried this drug 2.5 mg once daily, after side diarrhea side effects from Metformin. However, now I experience high readings (155 - 192) most mornings, feel constantly hungry, have swollen feet and chills ocassionally. Even when readings are between 90 - 100, I feel shaky. I've gained about 5 lbs so far. Thinking about going back to Metformin and managing the bowel issue because my appetite and energy were under control. Has anyone else experienced similar symptoms?

This medication lowered by blood to under 100. Results from taking this medication ranged from 87 to 92. The only problem I have is that I am allergic to sulfar drugs.

Glipizide Oral has no effect on my Diabetes 2. I find that if I do not take Insulin, I get not relief from Glipizide. Advandamet worked so well and I really miss it.

so far working very well
