I just want to know some more information about this drug, as my doctor just put me on it. ## Glucotrol is a medium-to-long acting anti-diabetic drug. Glucotrol works by blocking potassium channels in the beta cells of the islets of langerhans. By partially blocking the potassium channels, it will increase the time the cell spends in the calcium release stage of cell signaling leading to an increase in calcium. The increase in calcium will initiate more insulin release from each beta cell.

Medication is for (I think) diabetes. I don't know company name. Can you tell me what this pill is for? ## The pill in description is Glipizide ER (10 mg); which is an oral medium-to-long acting anti-diabetic drug from the sulfonylurea class. It is manufactured by Watson Laboratories Inc. From what I was able to gather it is also marketed by Pfizer under the brand name Glucotrol in the USA, where Pfizer sells Glucotrol in doses of 5 and 10 milligrams and Glucotrol XL (an extended release form of glipizide) in doses of 2.5, 5, and 10 milligrams.
