Glizid XR60 Tablet contains gliclazide (60 mg) which works in the body as follows:

• Pancreatic Stimulation: Gliclazide stimulates the pancreas to secrete more insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body regulate the level of sugar in your blood. By increasing its production, gliclazide assists in lowering your blood glucose levels.
• Insulin Sensitivity: Besides stimulating insulin secretion, gliclazide also increases insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. This means that these tissues become more responsive to insulin, allowing them to better utilise the glucose in your blood.
• Inhibits Hepatic Glucose Production: Lastly, gliclazide may inhibit hepatic glucose production, which is the process of your liver making glucose. By limiting this process, gliclazide ensures that less glucose is introduced into your bloodstream from your liver.

• Store Glizid XR60 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30 degrees Celsius.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
• Keep this medicine safely out of sight and reach of children.
• Always check the expiry date before taking the medicine.

• Regular physical exercise, such as walking or jogging, can help you manage your type 2 diabetes better. But remember to consult your doctor about the right type and amount of exercise for you.
• Make a conscious effort to include fibre-rich foods like whole grains and vegetables in your diet, as they can aid in controlling your blood glucose levels.
