Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Sustained and Potent Glucose Control | The Modified Release ($\text{MR}$) formulation combined with the higher $60\text{ mg}$ strength ensures steady, robust, and effective lowering of blood glucose levels over a full $24$ hours. |
| Convenient Once-Daily Dosing | The $\text{MR}$ delivery allows for single daily administration (usually at breakfast), significantly enhancing patient compliance for this long-term therapy. |
| Direct Insulin Stimulation | Directly stimulates the pancreas to increase the endogenous release of insulin, effectively utilizing the body's existing capacity to manage blood sugar. |
| Potential Haemovascular Benefits | Gliclazide is associated with certain extra-pancreatic effects that may have a protective role on the microcirculation, which is beneficial in reducing diabetic complications. |
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Sulfonylurea Class
Prescription Required: This medication must be taken strictly as prescribed.
Risk of Hypoglycemia: Gliclazide can cause hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar). Symptoms include sweating, dizziness, confusion, and tremors. Always carry a source of fast-acting sugar (glucose tablets, juice, candy). The risk is increased by skipping meals, excessive exercise, or alcohol consumption.
Administration: The tablet must be taken with breakfast and swallowed whole (do not crush or chew) to ensure the modified release mechanism works correctly. DO NOT skip meals after taking this medication.
Kidney/Liver Disease: Use with caution in patients with severe kidney or liver disease, as this increases the risk of hypoglycemia.
