This warning is based on the study conducted by the University Group Diabetes Program (UGDP), a long-term prospective clinical trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of glucose-lowering drugs in preventing or delaying vascular complications in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
The risk of hypoglycemia is increased when caloric intake is deficient, when strenuous exercise is not compensated by caloric supplementation, or during concomitant use with other glucose-lowering agents or ethanol.
Macrovascular Outcomes There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with glipizide and metformin hydrochloride or any other antidiabetic drug.
A potential interaction between oral miconazole and oral hypoglycemic agents leading to severe hypoglycemia has been reported.
From the Dapagliflozin and metformin (XIGDUO XR) label · effective 2026-08-11
• Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues: Consider a lower dosage of insulin or an insulin secretagogue to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when used concomitantly with XIGDUO XR.
Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use with Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues Insulin and insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylureas) are known to cause hypoglycemia.
XIGDUO XR may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with insulin and/or an insulin secretagogue [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .
The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogues) or insulin.
Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues Clinical Impact The risk of hypoglycemia may be increased when XIGDUO XR is used concomitantly with insulin or insulin secretagogues (e.g., sulfonylurea) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ].
