What is Glycozar-M 40MG Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (adult) to improve blood glucose control along with diet and exercise; may be used alone or with other antidiabetic medicines as prescribed.

How Glycozar-M 40MG Tab Works

Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea antidiabetic. It stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells and improves peripheral glucose utilization, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

Dosage & Directions

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed. Usually taken once daily with breakfast/first main meal; swallow tablet whole (do not crush/chew) if modified-release. Monitor blood glucose regularly and do not skip meals to reduce risk of hypoglycaemia.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Lowers fasting and post-meal blood glucose
Improves glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes
Helps reduce diabetes-related complications with long-term control
Once-daily modified-release option may improve adherence

Pregnancy

Not recommended (consult doctor); insulin is generally preferred in pregnancy.
