Glycinorm 40 Tablet 15

Glycinorm 40 Tablet 15 is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults who aren’t achieving sugar control through lifestyle changes alone. It contains gliclazide, a sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, lowering blood sugar and helping prevent complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve issues. 

Follow these instructions while taking Glycinorm 40 Tablet 15:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.

• Take it at the same time each day for consistent blood glucose control.

• Do not alter the dose without consulting your doctor.

• It's crucial not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Glycinorm 40 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Glycinorm 40 Tablet 15 contains gliclazide (40 mg), which acts in your body as follows:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Gliclazide acts on specific cells in your pancreas (beta cells) to promote insulin production. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body regulate blood sugar levels.

• Blocks ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels: Gliclazide binds to these channels on the surface of your pancreatic beta cells, leading to cell membrane depolarisation and an influx of calcium. This, in turn, triggers the release of more insulin.

• Increases Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity: In addition to its action on the pancreas, gliclazide enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. This means it helps your body's cells better respond to insulin and absorb more glucose from your bloodstream.

• Store your Glycinorm 40 Tablet 15 in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture.

• Keep the medicine at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Make sure the tablet is out of reach of children to avoid accidental consumption.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack and use it before that date for optimal effectiveness.

• Maintain a balanced diet low in sugar and high in fibre to support your blood sugar management. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins are all good choices.

• Regular physical exercise contributes to improved blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, at least five days a week. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
