Gliclazide 60mg is an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of medications called sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels. Gliclazide helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion, which helps move sugar from the bloodstream into the body’s cells where it can be used for energy.
The dosage and frequency of gliclazide will depend on the individual’s age, weight, and the severity of their diabetes. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare professional when taking this medication, and to report any side effects or adverse reactions.
Gliclazide can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if taken in combination with other diabetes medications or if not taken with food. Symptoms of hypoglycemia may include sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, and confusion. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly when taking gliclazide, and to carry a source of glucose (such as candy or juice) in case of hypoglycemia.
