Isosorbide Mononitrate ER prescription online

Glipizide ER (generic Glucotrol XL) is the extended release version of Glipizide - a prescription drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. Glipizide decreases your body’s blood glucose level and increases its response to the hormone insulin to get your type 2 diabetes under control. Glipizide ER releases the drug more gradually than the instant release formulation. This provides a steadier supply of the medication to your bloodstream and allows you to take it less frequently.

Nearly 1 in 10 Americans has diabetes, a condition characterized by elevated levels of glucose - or sugar - in the blood. If left untreated, elevated glucose levels can wreak havoc on your body, causing kidney damage, eye problems, sexual dysfunction, and more. Doctors prescribe drugs like metformin to help keep patients’ blood glucose - and their diabetes symptoms - in check.

Glipizide ER is used to treat type 2 diabetes - the form of diabetes in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or builds a resistance to it.

Insulin is a hormone that plays a role in the way your body takes up and uses sugar for energy. When your body does not produce enough insulin, sugar builds up in the blood, leading to serious problems like kidney problems, eye problems, heart disease, nerve damage, loss of limbs, and even death.

Glipizide ER cannot be used to treat type 1 diabetes, a condition in which the body produces little to no insulin at all.

It is important to note that Glipizide ER is meant to work alongside diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes to lower your blood glucose levels and bring your diabetes under control.

It is important to know that Glipizide ER causes changes in your blood sugar, and to understand the symptoms related to these changes. Side effects that can occur while using glipizide ER include:

• Diarrhea
• Gas
• Feeling jittery
• Dizziness
• Uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body
• Red or itchy skin

If you continue to experience any side effects including discomfort, contact your doctor or health care provider. Your doctor will decide if you should continue to use this medication.
