A member asked:

I started glipizide today with my metformin like my doctor said to i have bad pain in my arms, stomach and legs? is that a side affect of the pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Glipizide: Stop the glipizide for a few days and see if things get better. If yes let your doctor know. If not, don't take any glipizide and see your doctor ASAP. Don't forget to check your blood sugar .
