Reclide XR 120 Tablet contains gliclazide (120 mg) and works in the following ways:

• Stimulates Insulin Production: Gliclazide encourages the pancreas to produce more insulin, a hormone that helps your body store and use the sugar from food.

• Binds Sulfonylurea Receptors: Gliclazide attaches itself to specific receptors on pancreatic cells responsible for insulin production. This action prompts them to release more insulin into your body.

• Lowers Blood Glucose: The increased insulin secretion stimulated by gliclazide ensures that excess glucose in your bloodstream is utilised effectively, thereby lowering overall blood sugar levels.

• Sustained Release: The extended-release formulation of Reclide XR 120 Tablet provides a steady and sustained release of gliclazide over a 24hour period, ensuring consistent control of blood sugar levels throughout the day.
