Glipizide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels in the body. It works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, which helps to lower blood sugar levels after meals. Glipizide is usually taken by mouth and is often used in combination with diet and exercise to manage diabetes.

Glipizide has a half-life of about 2 to 4 hours in healthy individuals, meaning it takes that long for half of the drug to be eliminated from the body. Generally, it takes about 5 half-lives for a drug to be considered cleared from the system, so glipizide would typically be eliminated within 10 to 20 hours after the last dose. However, individual factors such as kidney function and dosage may affect this timeframe.
Antidiabetic drugs. Sulfonylureas (chlorpropamide [Diabinese], tolazamide [Tolinase], glipizide [Glucotrol] and others) act by increasing insulin release from the beta cells of the pancreas.
