CompositionGLZ XR TABLET 15 is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes as part of a programme that includes diet and exercise. Good control helps reduce the long-term risk of complications such as kidney, nerve and eye damage.
It contains gliclazide, a modified-release sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin. Take it with breakfast as prescribed, and do not skip meals, as this can cause low blood sugar.
A balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, regular meals at set times, regular activity and routine blood sugar monitoring support better control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems before starting, and about other medicines you take. Learn the signs of low blood sugar (shakiness, sweating, confusion) and how to treat them, and report frequent episodes.
