Gliclazide 90mg XR Tablets
SKU GME227Product Introduction
Gliclazide 90mg XR is an extended-release sulfonylurea medicine used for type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and other measures need additional glucose-lowering support. It helps the pancreas release more insulin and is usually taken with food to reduce the risk of low blood sugar. It is not used for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
How to use
Take Gliclazide 90mg XR with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, unless the prescriber gives different instructions. Swallow the extended-release tablet whole and do not crush or chew it. Keep regular meals, carry a fast sugar source, and monitor blood glucose as advised.
How it works
Gliclazide stimulates pancreatic beta cells to release insulin. The extended-release form releases medicine gradually, helping support blood-glucose control through the day when meals and monitoring are consistent.
Common side effects
Possible effects include low blood sugar, nausea, stomach upset, headache, dizziness, rash, and weight gain. Serious concerns include severe hypoglycaemia, liver problems, blood-count changes, allergic reaction, or prolonged low sugar, especially with missed meals, alcohol, kidney disease, or interacting medicines.
Important information
Review kidney or liver disease, irregular meals, fasting, alcohol use, pregnancy, breastfeeding, G6PD deficiency, older age, sulfonamide allergy history, insulin, other diabetes medicines, beta-blockers, antifungals, antibiotics, and blood-glucose records.
Uses
Type 2 diabetes mellitus when gliclazide extended-release therapy is prescribed.
Benefits
Helps improve glucose control by increasing insulin release, especially when combined with regular meals, monitoring, diet, and exercise.
What is Gliclazide 90mg XR used for?
Gliclazide 90mg XR is used for type 2 diabetes to help lower blood glucose when sulfonylurea treatment is prescribed.
Why is Gliclazide 90mg XR taken with breakfast?
Taking it with breakfast or the first main meal helps match insulin release with food intake and lowers the chance of hypoglycaemia from missed meals.
Can Gliclazide 90mg XR cause low blood sugar?
Yes. Sweating, shaking, hunger, fast heartbeat, confusion, dizziness, or weakness can be signs of low blood sugar and should be treated promptly.
Can Gliclazide 90mg XR be stopped suddenly?
Do not stop or change diabetes medicines without medical advice, because blood glucose may rise and the treatment plan may need adjustment.
What should I tell my doctor before taking it?
Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, irregular meals, alcohol use, G6PD deficiency, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also mention insulin, other diabetes medicines, beta-blockers, antifungals, antibiotics, and recent blood-glucose readings.
