Hi,
Glipizide can cause such urgency in passing motion. This could indicate a complication of diabetes, (acidosis) which needs to be detected or excluded, followed by specific management as per need. Please consult your diabetologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
