What is “glipizide + metformin 5/500 mg,” and how is it sold?
“Glipizide metformin 5/500 mg” typically means a combination tablet containing glipizide 5 mg plus metformin 500 mg, sold for type 2 diabetes. Products may vary by country and manufacturer, and “5/500” strength usually appears on the pack as the two drug strengths in each tablet.
What is the price?
I can’t give a reliable price without a specific location and the exact brand/manufacturer, because prices vary a lot by country, pharmacy, insurance, and whether it is brand-name or generic.
If you tell me:
- your country/city (or ZIP/postal code), and
- whether you want brand or generic, and
- how many tablets (e.g., 30, 60, 100),
I can narrow down what you should expect for that exact glipizide-metformin 5/500 mg item.
What affects the price the most?
Common drivers include:
- Generic vs brand (generic is usually cheaper)
- Tablet strength and formulation (some products use different metformin forms)
- Pack size (30 vs 60 tablets can change the per-tablet cost)
- Insurance/discount programs
- Pharmacy markup and local taxes
How to check the best price quickly
You can often get faster results by searching in your local system using the exact strength:
- “glipizide 5 mg metformin 500 mg” and “combination tablet”
- then compare per-tablet cost across pharmacies
Safety note before switching or buying
Glipizide + metformin combinations are prescription-only in many places. If you’re switching products (different brand or strength), confirm the dose per tablet and follow your prescriber’s instructions to avoid under- or overdosing.
