Gliclazide

Uses

Gliclazide is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is administered alongside diet and exercise to enhance blood sugar control in adults with this condition.

How it Works

Gliclazide is an antidiabetic medication that works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower blood sugar levels.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Gliclazide include hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), dizziness, headache, nausea, weight gain, and gastrointestinal disturbances.

Expert Advice

  • Take Gliclazide shortly before or with the first main meal of the day (usually breakfast).
  • Avoid skipping meals.
  • Exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medications (if prescribed) alongside Gliclazide.
  • Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you understand how Gliclazide affects you.
  • Gliclazide can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal.
  • Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemic symptoms, such as:
    • Cold sweats
    • Cool pale skin
    • Tremor
    • Anxiety
  • Monitor your blood sugar level regularly while taking this medicine.
  • Your doctor may check your liver function regularly.
  • Inform your doctor if you develop symptoms such as:
    • Abdominal pain
    • Loss of appetite
    • Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
  • Gliclazide helps decrease high blood sugar levels and avoid long-term complications of diabetes.

Frequently asked questions

Can Gliclazide and Metformin be taken together?
Yes, Gliclazide and Metformin can be taken together if prescribed by a doctor. This combination may be used to manage uncontrolled blood sugar levels, but it can also increase the risk of low blood sugar, especially if meals are missed or if there is increased physical activity. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
Are Gliclazide and Metformin the same medication?
No, Gliclazide and Metformin are not the same. Both are used to treat type 2 diabetes, but they work differently. Gliclazide increases insulin secretion from the pancreas, while Metformin improves the effectiveness of existing insulin in the body.
What is the optimal timing for taking Gliclazide?
Gliclazide should be taken before meals or as directed by your doctor. It is most effective at controlling post-meal blood sugar when taken 30 minutes before breakfast. If prescribed once daily, take it in the morning with a glass of water.
Is Gliclazide safe for individuals with kidney issues?
Gliclazide is safe for individuals with normal kidney function. However, if you have a history of kidney problems, inform your doctor to evaluate the suitability of Gliclazide for you, as it is primarily excreted by the kidneys. A lower dose may be necessary for those with kidney issues.
