Gliclazide + Metformin (strengths not specified)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (when diet and exercise alone or single therapy is not adequate); helps control high blood sugar and reduce risk of diabetes-related complications.
Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, lowering blood glucose. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, increasing peripheral glucose uptake. Together they provide better glycaemic control than either alone.
Take orally as prescribed by the doctor, usually with or immediately after meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow tablets whole with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Maintain diet/exercise plan and monitor blood glucose regularly.
Common side effects of GLICLAN M TABS 10S may include:
Risk of hypoglycaemia (especially with missed meals, excess exercise, alcohol, or other antidiabetics); carry a quick source of sugar. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis—risk higher in kidney/liver impairment, dehydration, severe infection, heart failure, or heavy alcohol use. Avoid/use with caution in renal impairment; kidney function monitoring is required. Stop temporarily before/after major surgery and around iodinated contrast procedures as advised by doctor. Not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
