Glynase Xl 5 Tablet 10 contains Glipizide (5 mg), which works in your body as follows:

• Pancreatic Action: Glipizide stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, which is essential for the body to use glucose effectively.
• ATP-sensitive Potassium Channel Blocking: Glipizide blocks these channels in pancreatic beta cells by binding to them, leading to depolarisation of the beta cells.
• Insulin Secretion: The depolarisation causes an influx of calcium ions, which further stimulates insulin secretion.
• Glucose Utilisation: The increased insulin levels help lower blood glucose by enhancing glucose absorption in your body's peripheral tissues.
• Decreased Glucose Production: Glipizide reduces glucose production in the liver simultaneously, thereby further helping to lower blood sugar levels.
