Glicron 80 works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas to lower blood sugar levels.
Common side effects include low blood sugar, nausea, and digestive issues. Rare effects include liver dysfunction, skin reactions, and blood disorders. For severe symptoms like jaundice, rashes, or bleeding, stop taking the medicine and seek medical advice.
The effect of this medicine lasts for an average duration of 24 hours.
Take Glicron 80 in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Glicron 80 is to be taken with food.
For film-coated tablets, the typical starting dose is 40–80 mg daily, which may be increased to a maximum of 320 mg per day in divided doses. Tablets should be taken before meals. Gliclazide is not recommended for children with juvenile-onset diabetes.
For modified-release tablets, the dose is determined by your doctor based on blood sugar levels. The daily dose ranges from 1–4 tablets (up to 120 mg) taken at breakfast, with water, preferably at the same time each day. Swallow the tablets whole without chewing or crushing them, and always eat a meal afterward.
If combining Gliclazide with other medications like metformin or insulin, your doctor will adjust the dosage individually. If your blood sugar remains high despite following the prescription, consult your doctor.
As diabetes treatment is generally lifelong, do not stop taking Glicron without consulting your doctor, as this may cause high blood sugar levels and increase the risk of complications.
Glicron’s blood sugar-lowering effects may increase when taken with medications like insulin, sulfonamides, or beta-blockers. However, its efficacy may decrease with corticosteroids, certain diuretics, or alcohol. Always inform your doctor about any other medications you’re taking.
Store below 30°C, away from children. Do not use after the expiration date. Properly dispose of unused medication to protect the environment.
