CompositionGlizid-40 Tablet is used to manage adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to achieve stable blood glucose control. By maintaining sugar levels within a target range, it helps reduce the risk of long-term complications like kidney disease, diabetic foot ulcers, and vision loss. It is an effective therapy for those whose blood sugar is not well-managed by diet and lifestyle changes alone.
This medication contains Gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea. It works primarily by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to secrete more insulin. It is known for its relatively glucose-dependent action, meaning it is more effective when blood sugar levels are high, which helps in lowering the risk of hypoglycemia compared to some other sulfonylureas.
Take this tablet with your first main meal of the day (usually breakfast) as prescribed by your doctor. It is essential to eat regular meals while taking this medicine to avoid low blood sugar. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have severe liver or kidney disease. Always carry a quick source of sugar, such as candy or glucose tablets, in case you experience dizziness or tremors.
