Medication name
\nDiamicron MR 60 mg Modified-Release Tablets.<\/p>\n
Drug class
\nSulfonylurea (oral antidiabetic medication).<\/p>\n
Use
\nDiamicron MR is used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt helps when diet, exercise, and weight reduction alone are not enough to achieve adequate glucose control.
\nThe modified-release formula provides a gradual and sustained release of the active ingredient throughout the day, allowing once-daily dosing and smoother blood sugar management.<\/p>\n
How it works
\nDiamicron MR contains Gliclazide, which stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin.
\nThis helps lower blood sugar levels, especially after meals.
\nThe modified-release technology ensures that the medication acts slowly and consistently, reducing fluctuations in glucose levels and lowering the risk of hypoglycemia compared to immediate-release forms.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration
\nThe usual starting dose is one tablet once daily with breakfast.
\nYour doctor may adjust the dose according to your blood sugar response.
\nThe tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed or crushed, as this may affect the modified-release action.<\/p>\n
Side effects
\nCommon side effects include mild hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), dizziness, headache, or digestive discomfort such as nausea or stomach pain.
\nThese effects are usually mild and temporary.
\nSerious hypoglycemia may occur if meals are skipped, delayed, or if the dose is too high.<\/p>\n
Precautions
\nInform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal problems before starting this medication.
\nAvoid alcohol as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
\nThis medicine is not suitable for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
\nRegular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to ensure safe and effective treatment.<\/p>\n
Storage
\nStore below 30\u00b0C in a dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
