Other names for glipizide?

What are common brand names for glipizide?

Glipizide is the generic name for an oral type 2 diabetes medicine. Common brand names you may see include Glucotrol and Glucotrol XL (extended-release).

Are there other generic names or “other names” (synonyms)?

Glipizide generally has one generic name (glipizide) and is typically referenced by brand versions or by the formulation (immediate-release vs extended-release), such as:
- Glipizide (immediate-release)
- Glipizide XL / Glucotrol XL (extended-release)

How can I find it on a prescription or in a pharmacy system?

Look for either:
- The generic name: glipizide
- A listed brand name: Glucotrol or Glucotrol XL

If you share the exact label text (brand/generic, dose, and whether it says “XL”), I can help identify which glipizide form it is.
