Overview:

Glucotrol XL
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Glipizide, a second-generation sulfonylurea, is used with diet to lower blood glucose in patients with diabetes mellitus type II. For the treatment of hyperglycemia in Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)

Mechanism Of Action:
Sulfonylureas likely bind to ATP-sensitive potassium-channel receptors on the pancreatic cell surface, reducing potassium conductance and causing depolarization of the membrane. Depolarization stimulates calcium ion influx through voltage-sensitive calcium channels, raising intracellular concentrations of calcium ions, which induces the secretion, or exocytosis, of insulin.
