Medication name: Claz MR Gliclazide 60 mg Modified-Release Tablets \u00d7 30
\nDrug class: Sulfonylurea (oral antidiabetic agent)<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and weight loss alone are insufficient.
\nClaz MR helps the body release insulin more effectively, improving overall blood sugar control.
\nIt may be prescribed alone or in combination with other oral antidiabetic medicines such as metformin or DPP-4 inhibitors.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, gliclazide, is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin and enhances the sensitivity of tissues to insulin.
\nThis helps lower blood sugar levels throughout the day.
\nThe modified-release (MR) formulation ensures the medicine is released slowly and evenly, providing prolonged glucose control while reducing the risk of sudden hypoglycemia.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nThe usual starting dose is 30 mg or 60 mg once daily, taken with breakfast.
\nIf needed, your doctor may gradually increase the dose up to 120 mg once daily, depending on your blood glucose response.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water \u2014 do not crush or chew it.
\nIt is important to take Claz MR at the same time each day and not to skip meals after taking it.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nClaz MR is generally well tolerated.
\nThe most common side effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if meals are missed or delayed.
\nSymptoms may include sweating, trembling, dizziness, or hunger.
\nOther mild side effects include nausea, headache, or digestive discomfort.
\nRarely, skin allergies or liver enzyme changes may occur.
\nSeek immediate medical attention if you experience severe hypoglycemia or allergic reactions.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if allergic to gliclazide or other sulfonylureas.
\nAvoid alcohol, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
\nConsult your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, adrenal insufficiency, or are under significant physical stress.
\nNot suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
\nUse during pregnancy or breastfeeding only under medical supervision.<\/p>\n
