Drug introduction

Glipizide is an oral antidiabetic drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It is a sulfonylurea drug that lowers blood sugar levels by promoting the release of insulin. Glipozine is suitable for patients who cannot control their blood sugar through diet and exercise. When using glipozine, patients need to monitor blood sugar levels closely to avoid hypoglycemia. Common side effects include hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal discomfort, and skin reactions. In Hong Kong, Glypazine requires a doctor's prescription to purchase, and patients should follow the doctor's advice to use the drug correctly. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, you should consult your doctor promptly.

Dosage

Instructions:
The medication should be taken orally, usually once daily, preferably before breakfast. If the patient does not usually eat breakfast, it may be taken before other main meals. Avoid taking it before bedtime to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Drinking alcohol should be avoided while taking it to avoid increasing the possibility of hypoglycemia.

Dosage Guidelines:
- Adults: The initial dose is usually 2.5 to 5 mg once daily. Based on the patient's blood sugar control, the physician may adjust the dosage, but each adjustment should not exceed 5 mg, and the maximum dosage should not exceed 40 mg each time.
-Children: Use of the drug in children should be based on the specific recommendations of the physician, and dosage is usually based on weight and glycemic control. The starting dose is usually lower and then adjusted based on patient response.
