Gliclazide is a medication commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Mechanism of Action
Gliclazide belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs and works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin. Insulin is the hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by enabling glucose to enter cells. By increasing insulin production, gliclazide helps to lower blood sugar levels, which is crucial in managing type 2 diabetes.
Common Uses
Type 2 Diabetes Management: Gliclazide is primarily used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It's often used when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels.
Dosage Instructions
The starting dose of gliclazide is usually 40-80 mg daily, which may be taken in a single dose or divided into two doses. The dose can be increased gradually based on the individual's blood sugar response, with a usual maximum dose of 320 mg per day. It's important to follow the healthcare provider's instructions for dosage and timing.
Benefits
Effective Blood Sugar Control: Helps to reduce high blood sugar levels and maintain them within a normal range.
Reduces Risk of Diabetes Complications: Effective blood sugar management with gliclazide can reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), nausea, and dizziness. Less common but more serious side effects can include liver dysfunction and blood disorders. It's important to monitor for signs of low blood sugar and consult a healthcare provider if any serious side effects occur.
Additional Information
Gliclazide should be part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly other medications.
