Mode of action

  • A portion of the potassium channels in the beta cells of the pancreatic islets are partially blocked by glipizide's molecular processes.

  • Insulin production from the pancreatic beta cells is triggered by the voltage-gated calcium channels opening up as a result of this potassium channel blocking, which causes cell depolarization.

Uses

  • Glipizide is used to treat type 2 diabetes's high blood sugar levels.
