Product Description:
SUGAZIDE® – 60ER contains Gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea, formulated in an extended-release (ER) form for 24-hour blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, improving glucose metabolism throughout the day with a lower risk of hypoglycemia compared to conventional sulfonylureas.
Key Benefits:
-

-
Reduces both fasting and postprandial glucose levels
-
Convenient once-daily dosing
-
Lower risk of hypoglycemia vs older sulfonylureas
-
Supports HbA1c reduction and microvascular complication prevention
How it works:
Gliclazide acts by stimulating the release of insulin from functioning pancreatic beta cells. The extended-release formulation ensures gradual and consistent insulin stimulation throughout the day, resulting in better glycemic control and reduced risk of fluctuations and hypoglycemia.
