Reclide 40 Tablet is taken orally.

This medication consists of gliclazide (40 mg) that works in the following way:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Gliclazide stimulates the production of insulin from β-cells in the pancreas. These β-cells are located in clusters called the islets of Langerhans.

• Regulates Potassium Channels: Gliclazide acts by binding to specific receptors on β-cell membranes. This binding action causes ATP-dependent potassium channels to close, which leads to depolarisation.

• Triggers Calcium Influx: The depolarisation caused by gliclazide leads to an opening of calcium channels. The rushing in of calcium ions triggers the release of pre-formed insulin granules.

• Keep Reclide 40 Tablet in a cool place.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.

• Maintain the packaging to avoid any damage or contamination.

• Always keep it out of children's reach for safety reasons.

• Remember to use it before the expiry date mentioned on the pack

• Maintain a balanced diet, focusing on foods with a low glycemic index, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. This can help manage your blood glucose levels.

• Regular physical activity is recommended as it helps your body use insulin more efficiently, thus improving your blood sugar control. Consult your doctor for safe exercise options tailored to your health condition.
