The extended-release formulation is particularly handy for patients requiring a longer duration of action and better adherence to treatment.

Before starting this medicine, it is advisable to consult your doctor about the correct dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor promptly. To achieve the best results, continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor.

Directions for Use of Glizid Xr 60 Tablet 10

Here's how to take Glizid XR60 Tablet correctly:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not chew, crush, or divide the tablet.
Do not modify your dosage without consulting your doctor.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next one. Never double up on doses to make up for a missed one.

Glizid XR60 Tablet is taken orally.

Glizid XR60 Tablet might have the following side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: This refers to low blood sugar levels, which can cause symptoms such as sweating, dizziness, and confusion.
Weight gain
Gastrointestinal disturbances: You might feel nauseous, experience vomiting or have diarrhoea after taking the medicine.
Headache

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Glizid XR60 Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Hypoglycaemia: Always carry a fast-acting source of glucose with you.
Gastrointestinal disturbances: Try taking Glizid XR60 Tablet with food to lessen this effect.

Glizid XR60 Tablet contains gliclazide (60 mg) which works in the body as follows:

Pancreatic Stimulation: Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body regulate the level of sugar in your blood. By increasing its production, gliclazide assists in lowering your blood glucose levels.
Insulin Sensitivity: Besides stimulating insulin secretion, gliclazide also increases insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. This means that these tissues become more responsive to insulin, allowing them to better utilise the glucose in your blood.
Inhibits Hepatic Glucose Production: Lastly, gliclazide may inhibit hepatic glucose production, which is the process of your liver making glucose. By limiting this process, gliclazide ensures that less glucose is introduced into your bloodstream from your liver.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Glizid XR60 Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Glizid XR60 Tablet is not recommended during breastfeeding. It may pass into breast milk and cause low blood sugar in nursing infants. Please discuss this with your doctor.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Glizid XR60 Tablet as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar levels and may contribute to poor blood sugar control.

Liver

If you have liver problems, it's important to discuss them with your doctor before starting Glizid XR60 Tablet. This medicine could affect liver function.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Glizid XR60 Tablet if you have a history of any kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Glizid XR60 Tablet may cause side effects like dizziness or confusion due to low blood sugar, which could affect your ability to operate machinery or drive safely.

Allergy

This medicine should not be taken if you have known hypersensitivity to gliclazide or other sulfonylureas. If you experience any allergic reactions, stop taking the medicine and consult your doctor immediately.

Children

Glizid XR60 Tablet is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Glizid XR60 Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Glizid XR60 Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Beta-blockers: Medicines such as propranolol and atenolol can potentially increase the blood sugar-lowering effect of Glizid XR60 Tablet, leading to hypoglycemia.
ACE inhibitors: Medicines like enalapril and lisinopril may enhance the hypoglycemic effect of Glizid XR60 Tablet, increasing the risk of low blood sugar levels.
Salicylates: Medications like aspirin can potentiate the glucose-lowering action of Glizid XR60 Tablet.
Certain Antibiotics: Antibiotics such as sulfonamides and chloramphenicol might intensify the hypoglycemic effect of Glizid XR60 Tablet, causing a decrease in blood sugar levels.

Drug-Food Interactions

Certain foods interact with Glizid XR60 Tablet:

High-fibre food: Meals rich in fibre can affect the absorption of gliclazide in Glizid XR60 Tablet, potentially reducing its effectiveness.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Glizid XR60 Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver disease: If you have liver impairment, Glizid XR60 Tablet may not be metabolised properly, which could lead to higher levels of the medicine in your body and increased risk of side effects.
Kidney disease: Kidney impairment may affect how your body clears Glizid XR60 Tablet, potentially leading to an increased risk of hypoglycemia.
Type 1 Diabetes: This medicine is not suitable for managing type 1 diabetes as it works by stimulating additional insulin secretion which is ineffective in type 1 diabetes where there is no insulin production.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dosage of Glizid XR60 Tablet, considering factors such as the severity of your condition and your response to the medicine. Always follow your doctor's instructions and avoid exceeding the prescribed dosage.

Over Dose

Accidentally taking more than your prescribed dose of Glizid XR60 Tablet may lead to hypoglycaemia, which is low blood sugar. This could cause symptoms like dizziness, sweating, and confusion. If you experience these symptoms for an extended period after overdosing, it's recommended to consult your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Glizid XR60 Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your regular schedule. Never adjust the dosage without consulting your doctor.
