Glikazid 80 effectively controls blood sugar levels, whereas Gliclazide makes the pancreas secrete more insulin to digest the circulating sugars (glucose) in the blood. It also makes the body more sensitive to insulin, which helps in utilizing the circulating blood glucose (sugars), leading to a decrease in blood glucose levels.
Glikazid 80 is used in adults in the management of type II diabetes mellitus when diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes alone do not result in an adequate response. It contains Gliclazide, which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It effectively controls blood sugar levels, as Gliclazide makes the pancreas secrete more insulin to digest the circulating sugars (glucose) in the blood. It also makes the body more sensitive to insulin, which helps in utilizing the circulating blood glucose (sugars), leading to a decrease in blood glucose levels.
During therapy with Glikazid 80, your doctor might ask you to make certain lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, and quitting alcohol consumption. Before taking Glikazid 80, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have any hormonal problems, genetic disorders (such as G6PD deficiency), or if you are malnourished, starved, or on an irregular diet.
Glikazid 80 is not suitable for use in patients with type I diabetes mellitus. Consult your doctor before taking Glikazid 80 if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or a breastfeeding woman. The most common side effects of taking Glikazid 80 are hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), which can be identified through symptoms such as increased hunger, sweating, shakiness, weakness, or an irregular heartbeat. To avoid this, your doctor will periodically monitor your blood sugar levels and adjust the dose of Glikazid 80 accordingly.
