General Information on Glucotrol XL

Diabetes patients are prescribed Glucotrol XL, a medicine that helps in controlling the sugar levels in the blood. Glipzide, which is the active chemical in the drug, helps the pancreas produce insulin. This medicine falls in the category of Sulfonylureas and is used in the treatment of Type II non-insulin dependent diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus. The medicine is combined with diet and exercise to treat the condition.

Glucotrol XL works by stimulating the body into releasing naturally produced insulin. The control of blood sugar levels within the body helps in preventing kidney damage and blindness, minimizes the risk of nerve problems, and helps in maintaining normal sexual function. Keeping diabetes under control also lessens the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Glucotrol XL Side Effects

Vomiting, nausea, appetite loss, constipations, diarrhea, gas, headache, and weight gain are some of the side effects that may arise from using Glucotrol XL. If the side effects are persistent, a doctor needs to be consulted. At times, empty tablet shells may be present in the stool of the patient, but it is harmless.

The possibilities of serious side effects are unlikely, but at times, a patient may experience serious side effects such as persistent fever, sore throat, stomach pain, yellow eyes and skin, excessive dark colored urine, swelling in the hands and feet, seizures, uncharacteristic bruising, and unusual mood swings.

Patients taking Glucotrol XL may suffer from hypoglycemia if the medication is not backed up by adequate calorie intake. The symptoms of hypoglycemia include blurred vision, tingling in the hands and feet, sudden hunger, drowsiness, weakness, fainting, rapid heartbeat, and shaking. The patient then immediately needs to eat something sweet to combat low blood sugar.

Serious allergic reactions to Glipzide are rare, but if swellings, rashes and other allergic reactions are noticed, you need to inform your doctor as soon as possible.

Glucotrol XL Precautions

Glipizide allergies are rare but not completely unknown. If you are allergic to Glipizide, you need to inform your doctor about it. Glucotrol XL may have other ingredients too which can cause allergies. This drug is not to be used if you have medical conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis.

Any previous medical history related to liver disease, kidney problems, thyroid disorders, hormonal conditions, hypernatremia, and gastrointestinal problems need to be disclosed to your doctor. If you are suffering from fever or some kind of infection, the dosage needs to be changed. So, inform your doctor accordingly.

Use sun protection liberally since this medication makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Elderly people need to exercise caution while using Glucotrol XL since they are at a greater risk of getting hypoglycemia.

If you are pregnant or nursing, you need to inform the doctor before starting the medication.

Glucotrol XL Dosage

The medicine is available in three doses - Glucotrol XL 2.5mg, Glucotrol XL 5mg, and Glucotrol XL 10mg. The dosage is determined by the doctor based on your blood sugar levels. The medicine is to be taken once a day with breakfast. The tablet should be ingested whole and not crushed, cut or chewed.

Interactions of Glucotrol XL

Inform your doctor about all other drugs you are taking. Interaction with other medications may make you more prone to hypoglycemia or reduce the effectiveness of Glucotrol XL. Common medications that interact with it are Aspirin, Calcium channel blockers, birth control pills, decongestants, Niacin, thyroid drugs, other diabetes medications, Rifampin, Sulfonamides, and MAO inhibitors.
