What is Gliclazide?

APO-GLICLAZIDE MR 30 MG is an extended-release tablet designed to help manage blood sugar levels. This medication is commonly used as part of a treatment plan for type 2 diabetes. It contains gliclazide, a sulfonylurea that works to lower blood glucose.

What is Gliclazide used for?

APO-GLICLAZIDE MR 30 MG is primarily used to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is often prescribed when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. This medication works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, which helps the body use glucose more effectively. It is important to use this medication as directed by a healthcare professional.

What are the side effects of Gliclazide?

Common effects of APO-GLICLAZIDE MR 30 MG may include mild stomach upset, dizziness, or headache. Some users may experience low blood sugar, especially if meals are skipped or if the dosage is too high. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication.

What precautions apply to Gliclazide?

APO-GLICLAZIDE MR 30 MG should be taken exactly as prescribed. It is important to follow a balanced diet and regular exercise routine while using this medication. Do not crush or chew the extended-release tablets, as this can affect how the medication is absorbed. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication.

What does Gliclazide interact with?

APO-GLICLAZIDE MR 30 MG may interact with other medications, including those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, or infections.
