Glipizide xl and bloat? I've been taking 2000mg of metformin. My doctor added 5mg of Glipizide XL. I feel bloated now, am gaining weight, bags under eyes, phlegm in the throat. Is this normal? I'm perfectly capable of using a search engine to research the drug, and I have. I'm asking if anyone has had these particularly symptoms. Glipizide is a CoQ10 depleter, so that might have something to do with it.

Mazher replied: "Glipizide is an oral drug that is used for treating patients with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs that includes glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (Micronase, Diabeta), tolbutamide (Orinase) and tolazamide (Tolinase). The usual starting dose when using immediate release tablets is 5 mg administered 30 minutes before a meal. The maximum dose is 40 mg daily. Doses higher than 15 mg per day should be divided. The starting dose when using extended-release tablets is 5 mg daily up to a maximum dose of 20 mg daily. Patients using immediate release tablets may be converted to the nearest equivalent extended-release dose Side effects include headache, dizziness, diarrhea, and gas. Skin rashes can occur and cause itching, hives, or a diffuse measles-like rash. Rare but serious side effects include hepatitis, jaundice, and a low sodium concentration. Glipizide may also cause hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia increases when glipizide is combined with other glucose reducing agents.

Can Glipizide cause hair loss? I was diagnost with Diabetes type II 2 months ago, and started with Glipizide XL 5mg once adya, then 10 mg a day. Since then I have gradually been lossing my hair, I sometime feel itchiness and have a very dry sculp. Is there another medication that I can take. Would reducing my medication work? My blood sugar is back to normal, and even sometimes its too low, could I just try stop taking my medication?

worshipdancer replied: "If the meds have helpfully reduced your blood sugar and are now reducing it too much on occasion, I would guess that you should return to the 5mg/day dosage. That, eating a strictly heathy diet (green organic vegetables and fruit), and washing with a strong dandruff shampoo, should render some positive results."

Dr.in.da H replied: "where from you have the hair loss? just scalp or other parts too like pubic area? Diabetes is a state of "Insulin Resistance" one of the reasons of excessive hair ( like on the face ) is insulin resistance so by treating diabetes, you are IMPROVING insulin resistance , leading to loss of the excessive hair that you gained originally from "insulin resistance" i.e. diabetes. I am saying this because people with polycustic ovary syndrome have a state of insulin resistance & it has been found that some anti-diabetic drugs can improve their insulin resistance making them lose the excessive hair & improve the ovarian function too. Sorry for being too technical but it was necessary to (or trying to) explain your unique & interesting situation."

TweetyBird replied: "You are taking Glucotrol XL and glipizide is the generic name. Hair loss is not associated with this med but pruritis (itching) is. Hair loss seems to be associated with DM2. It's been only two months. Give your med time, get your blood glucose stable and see if your hair loss decreases or stops. It won't hurt to use products for thinning hair (shampoos and conditioners)."
