Glicia-M 30 SR offers a comprehensive solution for managing blood glucose levels with the benefit of Sustained Release (SR) technology.
This dual-action formula targets diabetes through two mechanisms:
-
Gliclazide (30 mg SR): A sulfonylurea that triggers the pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner throughout the day.
-
Metformin (500 mg SR): A biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
The SR formulation ensures that the active ingredients are released slowly into the bloodstream, which helps maintain stable glucose levels and significantly reduces common gastrointestinal side effects like stomach upset. Regular use helps reach target HbA1c levels and protects against long-term diabetic complications such as kidney damage, nerve issues, and vision loss.
