Dianorm-OD 60 Tablet contains Gliclazide (60 mg), which works on your body in several ways:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Gliclazide stimulates your pancreas to secrete more insulin by binding itself to sulfonylurea receptors on pancreatic beta cells. This process leads to an influx of calcium and depolarises these cells.

• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: Apart from stimulating insulin secretion, gliclazide also enhances insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, further reducing blood glucose levels.

• Suppresses Hepatic Glucose Production: Gliclazide suppresses hepatic glucose production, which means it reduces the amount of glucose produced by your liver. This action contributes to its blood glucose-lowering capabilities.

• Keep Dianorm-OD 60 Tablet in a dry place, away from light and moisture.

• The ideal storage temperature for this medicine is below 30°C.

• Make sure this medication is stored out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date printed on the package before using.

• Healthy food choices can help manage type 2 diabetes. Include more whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables in your meals.

• Regular physical activity, like walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes a day, can also help maintain optimal blood glucose levels. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
