Glipizide Tablets are used to lower the blood sugar level in cats with type II Diabetes by causing the pancreas to release insulin. Glipizide is highly effective and should be combined with a low carbohydrate diet.

For cats of all weights: 2.5 mg to 5 mg per cat orally twice a day with food.

Active Ingredients per tablet: Glipizide 5 mg

Possible Side Effects:

Some possible side effects may include vomiting, sudden lowering of the blood sugar, weakness, wobbling, inability to stand, extreme hunger, shivering, lethargy, shaking, seizures, or coma. If you see these signs contact your veterinarian immediately. May cause toxic effects in the liver. Signs would include vomiting, depression, loss of appetite, and jaundice (yellowing of thegums, skin, or eyes). Contact your veterinarian immediately if you see these signs.

This may lead to anemia, with pale gums, weakness, and lethargy; bruising or bleeding tendencies; and decreased white blood cell counts, which may cause the animal to be more at risk of infections. If your pet experiences an allergic reaction to the medication, signs may include facial swelling, hives, scratching, sudden onset of diarrhea, vomiting, shock, seizures, pale gums, cold limbs, or coma. If you notice any of these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately.
