Diamicron Mr Tablet 10

Diamicron MR Tablet is used for the following:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults: This medicine helps control blood sugar levels in adults living with type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise, and weight control alone aren't enough.

• Stabilising blood sugar throughout the day: The modified release formulation of this medicine ensures a consistent release of gliclazide over 24 hours, providing a steady control of blood sugar levels.

Here's how you should take Diamicron MR Tablet:

• Take the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Ensure you do not break, chew or crush the tablet as this can interfere with its modified release properties.

• Always have it with your morning meal to ensure optimum absorption.

• Consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medicine properly.

Diamicron MR Tablet is taken orally.

Diamicron MR Tablet contains gliclazide (30 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Stimulates insulin secretion: Gliclazide functions by encouraging insulin secretion from specific cells in your pancreas known as 'beta cells'. This process is crucial in managing blood sugar levels.

• Blocks potassium channels: Gliclazide blocks ATP-sensitive potassium channels on beta cell membranes, eventually resulting in increased insulin release.

• Enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity: Aside from stimulating insulin release, gliclazide may also enhance peripheral insulin sensitivity. This means that it helps your body's cells utilise insulin more effectively.

• Reduces hepatic glucose production: Gliclazide may help reduce glucose production in the liver, further helping to control blood sugar levels.

• Decreases gut glucose absorption: Gliclazide could possibly reduce glucose absorption from food within the gut. This contributes towards maintaining stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.

• Store Diamicron MR Tablet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Maintain an optimal storage temperature below 30°C.

• Keep Diamicron MR Tablet safely out of the reach of children.

• Use it before the expiry date mentioned on the package.

• Limit your sugar intake as Diamicron MR Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes. Opt for whole grains, fruits, and vegetables instead.

• Regular physical exercise can help manage your blood sugar levels. Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity into your daily routine.
