Gliclaglaze M40 Tablet 15 consists of two active ingredients that work together to manage high blood sugar levels:

• Gliclazide (40 mg): This component belongs to the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic agents and operates by stimulating insulin secretion from your body's pancreatic beta cells. This process effectively reduces blood glucose levels. Additionally, gliclazide also works in reducing insulin resistance at a peripheral level in your body.

• Metformin (500 mg): As part of the biguanide class, metformin works differently from gliclazide. It decreases glucose production in your liver and reduces intestinal absorption of glucose. Furthermore, metformin improves insulin sensitivity by enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation in your body.

These two components complement each other, resulting in better glycemic control compared to if they were used individually.
