What Are The Withdrawal Side Effects Of Glipizide?
Doctor instructed my husband to stop taking Glipizide. He has been experiencing dizziness ever since he went on that medication. Nothing else seems to fit the symptom of dizziness. What should we watch for when he stops taking this? We have insulin on hand if needed.

Hi,
The withdrawal of Glipizide may show up symptoms of raised blood sugar level.
Regular monitoring with blood parameters and giving plenty of liquids will help for sure.
Do not give insulin randomly at home without medical advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
