About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Metviron GZ Tablet is a fixed-dose combination product containing Gliclazide (80mg) and Metformin (500mg). This oral antidiabetic medication is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients who are inadequately controlled by monotherapy or as combination therapy with insulin. Gliclazide, an sulfonylurea derivative, enhances insulin release and sensitizes peripheral tissues to insulin, thereby improving glucose tolerance. Metformin, a biguanide, reduces glucose production in the liver and increases glucose uptake in the periphery, thereby reducing blood glucose levels. The combination of Gliclazide and Metformin provides a balanced approach to glucose regulation, offering improved glycemic control and reduced risk of hypoglycemia. In clinical trials, Metviron GZ Tablet demonstrated efficacy in reducing HbA1c levels and improving fasting plasma glucose concentrations, with a favorable safety profile and minimal risk of adverse effects. As with all medications, Metviron GZ Tablet should be used under the guidance of a healthcare provider and in accordance with established treatment guidelines.

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. Gliclazide is effective in managing diabetes and preventing complications associated with high blood sugar. 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.
How It Works
Gliclazide stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.
All Active Ingredients
