Type 2 diabetes mellitus to control blood sugar when diet/exercise and single therapy are insufficient
How It Works
Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Gliclazide (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, lowering blood sugar.
Directions for Use
Take with meals as prescribed (often once or twice daily depending on formulation). Do not crush/chew sustained-release metformin tablets. Do not skip meals to reduce risk of hypoglycaemia; monitor blood glucose.
Side Effects
Hypoglycaemia, nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, metallic taste, dizziness, weight gain
Warnings & Precautions
Risk of low blood sugar due to gliclazide, especially with irregular meals, alcohol, or other antidiabetics. Metformin rarely may cause lactic acidosis; avoid in severe kidney impairment and during dehydration/acute illness; monitor kidney function. Temporarily stop before iodinated contrast/surgery as advised by doctor.
