GLICLAGLAZE 40

GLICLAGLAZE 40 is an oral anti-diabetic medication formulated with Gliclazide (40 mg), specifically designed to help manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It belongs to the class of sulfonylureas, which work by controlling blood glucose levels in patients whose diabetes cannot be managed through diet and exercise alone. GLICLAGLAZE 40 promotes consistent glycemic control and helps reduce the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications, including cardiovascular diseases, neuropathy, and kidney damage.

Key Ingredients:

Gliclazide (40 mg):
A second-generation sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and improves glucose utilization in the body. It provides a dual benefit of blood sugar regulation and vascular protection, making it a valuable option in long-term diabetes care.

Key Benefits:

• Helps lower elevated blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes

• Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin

• Promotes better glycemic control with a lower risk of hypoglycemia

• Reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications

• Supports improved microvascular health, benefiting eyes, kidneys, and nerves

• Can be used alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic medications

How Does It Work?

Gliclazide, the active ingredient in GLICLAGLAZE 40, works primarily by:

• Stimulating beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin, especially in response to meals.

• Improving peripheral insulin sensitivity, allowing glucose to enter cells more effectively.

• Helping regulate postprandial (after-meal) glucose spikes and overall fasting blood glucose levels.

• Additionally, it exhibits anti-platelet and antioxidant effects, contributing to cardiovascular protection.

This dual mechanism makes it effective not only in blood sugar regulation but also in protecting against diabetes-induced vascular damage.

Directions for Use:

• Take GLICLAGLAZE 40 as prescribed by your doctor—typically once or twice a day before meals.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet.

• Follow a healthy diet and regular exercise routine alongside medication for best results.

• Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is advised.

• Do not skip meals after taking the tablet, as it may lead to low blood sugar.

Side Effects:

Common Side Effects:

• Mild hypoglycemia (sweating, dizziness, hunger)

• Headache

• Nausea or upset stomach

• Weight gain in some patients

• Drowsiness

Serious Side Effects (Rare):

• Severe hypoglycemia

• Liver function abnormalities

• Skin rashes or allergic reactions

• Blood disorders (very rare)

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience confusion, blurred vision, tremors, or symptoms of severe low blood sugar.
