Glicia-80 – Gliclazide Tablets IP 80 mg

Glicia-80 (Gliclazide) is an effective therapy for managing non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes.

Gliclazide works by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to increase insulin secretion. It is known for its “extra-pancreatic” effects, which help the body use its existing insulin more effectively. Regular use of Glicia-80 helps prevent post-meal sugar spikes and reduces the long-term risk of diabetic complications like kidney failure, nerve damage, and heart issues. It is often preferred due to its lower risk of causing severe low blood sugar compared to some other drugs in the same class.
