Glizid 40 Tablet 10

Glizid-40 Tablet is used to improve control of blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medication (which contains Gliclazide) works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. It is an integral part of a comprehensive management plan, complementing diet and exercise, and is used both as initial therapy or to supplement other antidiabetic medicines like metformin when their effect is inadequate.

Take Glizid-40 Tablet in the following manner:

• Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

• Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Glizid-40 Tablet is taken orally.

Glizid-40 Tablet contains Gliclazide (40 mg) which works on your body in the following ways:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Gliclazide prompts the beta cells in your pancreas to release more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.

• Lowers Blood Glucose: By stimulating insulin release, gliclazide effectively helps decrease high levels of glucose (or sugar) in your blood.

• Facilitates Glucose Uptake: The increased insulin aids in the absorption of glucose by muscle and fat cells, reducing the amount of glucose that remains in your bloodstream.

• Inhibits Glucose Production: Gliclazide also helps to reduce the production of glucose by the liver, further contributing to lower blood sugar levels.

• Store Glizid-40 Tablet below 30°C in a cool, dry place.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Always keep the medicine out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the tablets before their expiry date.

• Include whole grains, leafy greens, and lean proteins in your diet. These foods are rich in fibre which helps manage blood sugar levels.

• Regular physical activity is essential. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity like brisk walking, swimming or cycling most days of the week. These activities help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
