Glicia-M 60 SR offers a comprehensive solution for managing blood glucose levels throughout the day and night.
The Sustained Release (SR) technology in both active ingredients ensures that the medicine is released slowly into the bloodstream. This prevents sudden drops or spikes in sugar levels and significantly reduces the risk of gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with standard metformin.
Gliclazide works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas, while Metformin works by lowering glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, they provide superior glycemic control, helping to lower HbA1c levels and protect the body from long-term diabetic complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, and nerve problems.
