Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Glizid 40 Tablet. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Benefits of Glizid 40 Tablet

In Type 2 diabetes
Glizid prompts your pancreas to release more insulin, bringing high sugar readings down quickly. Steady control lowers the long-term risk of damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves and blood vessels.

How Glizid 40 Tablet works

Glizid 40 Tablet is a diabetes medicine that helps lower blood sugar by increasing insulin release from the pancreas. It works by stimulating the pancreatic cells to produce more insulin, which helps move sugar from the blood into the cells for energy. It also helps the body use insulin more effectively and may support blood vessel health.

How to take Glizid 40 Tablet

Take as directed by your doctor, with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet. Monitor blood sugar levels regularly.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
