Glizid-MR 30 Tablet contains gliclazide (30 mg) as its active ingredient. Here's how it works:

• Pancreas Stimulation: Gliclazide acts on the pancreas, which produces insulin in our body. It stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.

• ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Blockade: Gliclazide binds to ATP-sensitive potassium channels on pancreatic beta cells, blocking them. This action triggers a series of events within these cells.

• Insulin Release: Blocking these channels leads to depolarisation of the beta cells. This causes an influx of calcium ions into the cells, which ultimately results in the release of insulin.

• Blood Sugar Reduction: The released insulin then works to lower blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake and utilisation by tissues and reducing glucose production by the liver.
