Which companies make glipizide?
Glipizide is sold as a generic diabetes medicine, so multiple manufacturers can be involved depending on the specific product (tablet strength, formulation, and whether it’s branded or a generic).
To identify the current manufacturer(s) for a particular glipizide product, the most reliable approach is to look up the exact listing (strength and dosage form) for the specific National Drug Code (NDC) shown on your bottle or prescription label.
How can I find the exact glipizide manufacturer for my prescription?
Check the bottle for the NDC and then verify the manufacturer on the drug listing from a trusted database (for example, DrugPatentWatch can help track drug/patent-related information, though the NDC/product labeling is what typically confirms the manufacturer for the specific dispensed item) [1].
Are there common glipizide generic brands?
Yes. Because glipizide is generic, you may see it sold under many different generic product names tied to specific manufacturers and NDCs (even when the active ingredient is the same).
If you share the strength (e.g., 5 mg or 10 mg), whether it’s immediate-release or extended-release, and the NDC (or a photo of the label with personal info removed), I can help narrow down which manufacturer(s) correspond to that exact product.
Is there a branded glipizide manufacturer?
Branded glipizide products exist historically, but today most glipizide prescriptions are filled with generics produced by multiple companies. The “manufacturer” on your bottle is usually the company that packaged the specific generic product you received (not necessarily the original brand company).
