Description:
Gliclazide SR (60mg) and Metformin SR (500mg), marketed as GLICLAGLAZE MET, is a combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. This dual therapy leverages the benefits of both drugs to achieve better blood glucose control, particularly in patients inadequately managed on monotherapy.
How Does It Work?
-
Gliclazide SR:
- Sulfonylurea Action: Stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
- Extended Release: Provides a sustained release for consistent blood sugar control throughout the day.
-
Metformin SR:
- Biguanide Action: Decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity.
- Sustained Release: Ensures gradual absorption, reducing gastrointestinal side effects.
Uses of GLICLAGLAZE MET
- Type 2 Diabetes Management: Primarily used to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.
- Combination Therapy: Effective for patients who do not achieve adequate control with either medication alone.
What is GLICLAGLAZE MET?
- Dose and Formulation: Combines 60mg of Gliclazide SR and 500mg of Metformin SR in a single tablet.
- Administration: Typically taken once or twice daily with meals to enhance efficacy and minimize side effects.
