Metaglip (active ingredients: glipizide and metformin hydrocholride) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Metaglip is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise.

Metaglip belongs to a class of drugs known as combination antidiabetics. Glipizide is a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas, while metformin is a biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

Metaglip is comes as tablet form by mouth, usually once or twice a day with meals or as directed by your doctor. While taking the tablet, drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

The dosage of Metaglip Tablet is determined by your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Your doctor may direct you to take a low dose at first, gradually increasing the dose to lower the chance of side effects such as upset stomach and low blood sugar. Your doctor will adjust your dose based on your blood sugar levels to find the best dose for you. Follow your doctor’s directions carefully. The usual maximum dose for adults is 2000 milligrams of metformin and 20 milligrams of glipizide each day.

Use Metaglip Tablet regularly to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same time each day. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens. It may take up to 2 weeks before the full benefit of this drug takes effect.
