  • Diabetes mellitus (non-ketotic, relatively healthy): Give in conjunction with a meal. Perform spot BG checks every 3-4h for initial 12-18h. Increase dose to 5 mg BID after 2 weeks if hyperglycemia persists and no adverse reactions occur.
  • Diabetes mellitus: Combine with dietary fiber therapy. Evaluate every 1-2 weeks. If fasting BG remains >200 mg/dL after 2-3 months, discontinue and institute insulin.
  • Diabetes mellitus: Decrease dose if hypoglycemia occurs. Response may be delayed; evaluate over 4-8 weeks before determining efficacy.
  • Non-ketotic diabetes mellitus: Start at the lower end of the dose range, increasing the dose as required if no adverse effects are reported after 2 weeks.

概覽

​格列吡嗪 (Glipizide)​ 是一種第二代口服磺醯脲類抗糖尿病藥物,主要用於人類的第二型糖尿病,但在獸醫學中也有特定應用,特別是針對貓病患。

  • ​貓的應用​:對於仍具有功能性胰臟β細胞的單純性糖尿病貓可能有效。大約 ​20% 至 30%​ 新診斷的糖尿病貓對格列吡嗪治療有反應。
  • ​臨床實用性​:通常保留用於飼主絕對拒絕注射胰島素(通常因為害怕針頭),或者貓在極低劑量胰島素下控制良好且飼主希望轉換為口服藥物的情況。
  • ​狗的限制​:格列吡嗪對狗通常​無效​。當狗出現臨床高血糖症狀時,牠們通常已處於絕對或相對的胰島素缺乏狀態(類似人類第一型糖尿病),缺乏格列吡嗪發揮作用所需的功能性β細胞。
  • ​臨床要點​:格列吡嗪試驗需要耐心;可能需要 ​4 到 8 週​ 才能觀察到完整的治療效果。此外,貓長期使用可能會促進胰島澱粉樣蛋白沉積增加,潛在加速剩餘β細胞的破壞。

作用機制

Glipizide lowers blood glucose concentrations by stimulating the release of endogenous insulin from the pancreas and enhancing peripheral insulin sensitivity.

  • Pancreatic Mechanism: Glipizide binds to the ​sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1)​ on the membrane of pancreatic ​β-cells​ → This binding closes ATP-sensitive potassium (K+) channels → Decreased potassium efflux leads to cellular depolarization → Depolarization opens voltage-dependent calcium (Ca2+) channels → Calcium influx triggers the exocytosis of insulin-containing secretory granules.
  • Extrapancreatic Effects: Ongoing use enhances peripheral tissue sensitivity to circulating insulin and reduces the production of hepatic basal glucose, though the exact mechanisms for these secondary effects remain partially unexplained.

安全性與警告

禁忌症

  • Severe burns, trauma, or infection
  • Diabetic coma or other hypoglycemic conditions
  • Major surgery
  • Ketosis, ketoacidosis, or other significant acidotic conditions
  • Known hypersensitivity to sulfonylureas
  • Diabetic ketosis / ketoacidosis
  • Hepatic impairment
  • Renal impairment
  • Absolute insulin deficiency (Type I diabetes)
  • Insulin resistance

不良反應

  • Gastrointestinal upset (anorexia, vomiting in ~15% of cats)
  • Hypoglycemia (severe cases are rare)
  • Hepatotoxicity (cholestatic jaundice and elevated liver enzymes in ~8% of cats)
  • Increased pancreatic amyloid deposit formation
  • Allergic skin reactions (reported in humans)
  • Bone marrow suppression (reported in humans)
  • Jaundice (hepatotoxicity)
  • Skin rashes
  • Fever

注意事項

Important: Glipizide should be used with extreme caution in patients with untreated adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, thyroid impairment, renal or hepatic function impairment, prolonged vomiting, high fever, malnourishment, or debilitated conditions.

  • Efficacy Loss: While initially effective, glipizide may become ineffective weeks to months after starting therapy, eventually requiring a transition to insulin.
  • Concurrent Endocrine Disease: Conditions causing excessive cortisol or growth hormone production (e.g., hyperadrenocorticism, acromegaly) can antagonize insulin effects and must be ruled out before initiating therapy.
  • Hepatic Monitoring: Monitor liver enzymes closely. Discontinue if ALT exceeds 500 IU/L or if icterus develops.

監測

  • Clinical signs of hypoglycemia or gastrointestinal distress

藥物動力學

半衰期

Effects on insulin levels peak in ~15 minutes and return to baseline after ~60 minutes.

吸收

Rapidly and practically completely absorbed after oral administration. Absolute bioavailability in humans is 80-100%. Food alters the rate, but not the extent, of absorption. Transdermal administration in cats is not adequately absorbed.

分佈

Very highly bound to plasma proteins.

代謝

Primarily biotransformed in the liver to inactive metabolites.

排除

Metabolites are excreted primarily by the kidneys.

過量

Toxicity Profile: Oral LD50 is greater than 4 g/kg in all tested animal species. The primary and most dangerous consequence of an overdose is profound hypoglycemia.

Management:

  • Decontamination: Employ gut-emptying protocols (emesis, activated charcoal) if the ingestion is recent and the patient is asymptomatic.
  • Treatment: Monitor blood glucose closely. Administer parenteral glucose (e.g., IV dextrose bolus followed by a CRI) as needed.
  • Monitoring: Because of its relatively short half-life, prolonged hypoglycemia is less likely compared to older sulfonylureas (like chlorpropamide), but blood glucose monitoring and supportive care may still be required for several days. Massive overdoses may require monitoring of blood gases and serum electrolytes.
