Gliclazide
Gliclazide is an oral sulfonylurea medication used to treat type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not enough. It works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
How is this medication used?
Take the prescribed dose by mouth with breakfast, once or twice daily as directed by your doctor. Do not skip meals while taking gliclazide, as this increases the risk of low blood sugar. Monitor your blood sugar regularly as advised.
What are the possible side effects?
The most common side effect is hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), causing symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, hunger, and confusion. Other side effects may include stomach upset, nausea, headache, and skin rash.
What are the potential interactions?
Alcohol, other diabetes medications, certain antibiotics, and NSAIDs can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Corticosteroids, diuretics, and some other medications can raise blood sugar and reduce gliclazide's effect. Tell your doctor about all medications you take.
