Probably yes: Although, no doctor or pharmacist would recommend that you take them, most likely they are just fine.

Question 9

i have a bottle of 5 mg glipizide tablets that i forgot to use. bottle says use before 7-27-18. are they still safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: Drug expiration dates are very arbitrary -- they mean only the drug's effectiveness and side effects haven't been tested after a longer time. If properly stored and not overheated, like in a car's glove box, almost certainly it's still effective with no increased risk of side effects. Anyway, this may be an arbitrary date, a year after the prescription.

Question 10

long term side effects on metmorfin hcl and glipizide mg?

Accepted Answer

Low thyroid, sugar.: Metformin has side effects, like gastrointestinal issues-diarrhea, and cramps.  Lactic acidosis is the most serious, likely from liver and/or kidney problems.  Low thyroid from lowered TSH in blood and low testosterone are likely long term side effects.  The most important side effect of glipiizide is hypoglycemia, which can cause dizziness, and confusion.  Do not take if easy bruising/ bleeding.
