Uses of Gliconil M Tablet are:

• Type 2 Diabetes: Helps control high blood sugar and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

Gliconil M Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Gliconil M Tablet 10 consists of two active ingredients which work together to manage blood glucose levels:

• Glibenclamide (5 mg): This component belongs to the class of sulfonylurea antidiabetic agents. Its job is to stimulate the beta cells in the pancreas to secrete more insulin by inhibiting ATP-sensitive potassium channels on these cells' membranes. This results in more insulin being released into the body, helping to control blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin operates differently as a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent. It reduces glucose production in the liver by inhibiting processes called gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. It also increases insulin sensitivity, enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and delaying intestinal glucose absorption.

Together, these components help improve glucose homeostasis in patients with type 2 diabetes.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Keep it safely out of the reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Balanced diet: Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help maintain optimal blood sugar levels. Be mindful and limit your intake of sugary foods and drinks. Always consult your doctor for personalised dietary advice.
