Metaglip Drug Info

Healthcare providers often prescribe Metaglip^® (glipizide and metformin) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. This medication comes in tablet form and is taken once or twice a day with meals. How does it work? Metaglip helps keep blood sugar levels under control by causing the pancreas to produce more insulin and by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver.

 

Metaglip is generally safe and effective; however, it is not suitable for everyone. Prior to beginning treatment with Metaglip, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, including supplements and nonprescription products. You should also be aware of possible side effects, such as diarrhea, headache, and low blood sugar.
