Interaction

Action Mechanism

This particular medicine Glucotrol XL is a member of drugs known as sulfonylurea. Insulin is a hormone formed in the pancreas that releases into the blood that removes sugar from the blood. It also reduces the formation of glucose by the liver.

The pancreas is unable to form insulin, which is necessary to overcome the resistance. It reduces blood glucose by stimulating the pancreas to form more insulin.
