Glipizide

Sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin; effective but carries more hypoglycemia risk than newer diabetes drug classes.

CategoryDiabetes
Typical routeOral
Half-life~2-5 hours
Common dose range2.5-20 mg/day, taken 30 minutes before a meal
Typical cycle lengthOngoing, long-term

BioHack Track models Glipizide at a half-life of 3.5 hours, so every dose you log is decayed against that curve and the app shows what is still circulating — not just what you typed.

Reconstitution

Oral tablet; no reconstitution needed.

Storage

Store at room temperature.

Cautions

Prescription medication. Hypoglycemia risk is meaningful, especially if a meal is skipped after dosing; weight gain is a common side effect.

Track Glipizide in BioHack Track. Half-life, dose range and route come pre-filled from this library — log a dose and the app counts your vial down, models what is in your system, and puts it on the same chart as your labs and body composition.
