What is Gliclazide?

Diaprel MR contains gliclazide, a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. It helps control blood sugar levels and is taken orally. Diaprel MR is designed for gradual release to provide consistent effects.

What is Gliclazide used for?

Diaprel MR is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by helping the pancreas produce more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Diaprel MR is often prescribed when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar. It is important to use Diaprel MR as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which may include diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring.

What are the side effects of Gliclazide?

Diaprel MR may cause common side effects such as dizziness, headache, and nausea. Some people may experience hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, especially if they skip meals or take too much medication. It is important to be aware of the signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, shakiness, and confusion, and to seek medical attention if severe symptoms occur.

What precautions apply to Gliclazide?

Diaprel MR should be used with caution in people with certain medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions. Diaprel MR should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and kept out of reach of children.

What does Gliclazide interact with?

Diaprel MR may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungal drugs, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Alcohol can also interact with Diaprel MR and increase the risk of low blood sugar. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before taking Diaprel MR with other medications or supplements.
