About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet MR contains Gliclazide 60 mg, a sulfonylurea class oral hypoglycemic agent used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It functions by stimulating pancreatic beta cells to release insulin, thereby improving glycemic control in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes. The modified-release (MR) formulation allows for a gradual and sustained release of the active ingredient, promoting stable plasma concentrations and reducing the risk of hypoglycemia compared to immediate-release formulations. Glycinorm-OD 60 is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet alone is insufficient. It is particularly useful in patients who have not achieved adequate glycemic control with lifestyle modifications and require pharmacological intervention. The once-daily dosing regimen enhances patient compliance and convenience. Caution is advised in patients with hepatic or renal impairment, and it is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or hypersensitivity to sulfonylureas. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels and periodic assessment of renal and hepatic function are recommended during therapy. Glycinorm-OD 60 should be used under medical supervision to optimize therapeutic outcomes and minimize adverse effects.

About Gliclazide
Gliclazide is an oral hypoglycemic agent used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Common side effects may include nausea and stomach discomfort, but these usually resolve over time. In summary, Gliclazide is important for controlling blood sugar levels in diabetic patients.
