What's In It
Warning
Gliclazide has the potential to induce hypoglycemia, leading to severe consequences. Symptoms may include sweating, dizziness, tremors, hunger, confusion, and palpitations. Patients are advised to carry a quick-acting sugar source at all times. Exercise caution when administering to patients with liver issues, as gliclazide is metabolized by the liver. Additionally, be cautious when using gliclazide with other medications that may enhance or reduce its effects, such as other antidiabetic drugs, corticosteroids, and beta-blockers. It is recommended to temporarily discontinue gliclazide treatment during surgeries requiring general anesthesia. Diamicron MR is not suitable for use during pregnancy; insulin is the preferred option for managing diabetes during pregnancy. Avoid using gliclazide while breastfeeding. Alcohol consumption can heighten the risk of hypoglycemia, so it is advisable to minimize or avoid alcohol intake. This information serves as an overview and may not cover all aspects. For personalized advice, always consult a healthcare professional.
