CLASS and MECHANISM of Action
Generic "Glucotrol XL" is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class.
Generic "Glucotrol XL" appears to lower blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. Extrapancreatic effects also may play a part in the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs. Two extrapancreatic effects shown to be important in the action of Generic "Glucotrol XL" are an increase in insulin sensitivity and a decrease in hepatic glucose production. However, the mechanism by which Generic "Glucotrol XL" lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been clearly established. Stimulation of insulin secretion by Generic "Glucotrol XL" in response to a meal is of major importance.
Active Ingredients: Glipizide
Inactive Ingredients: polyethylene oxide, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, sodium chloride, red ferric oxide, cellulose acetate, polyethylene glycol.
