Glicia M 40 is an effective therapeutic option for patients who require moderate blood sugar management.
Gliclazide (40 mg) belongs to the sulfonylurea class and works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. Metformin (500 mg) is a biguanide that reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to its own insulin.
The combination of these two agents is highly effective at lowering HbA1c levels and managing both fasting and post-meal glucose spikes. This 40/500 ratio is often preferred for patients who need a lower dose of Gliclazide while maintaining the standard benefit of Metformin. Regular use, combined with a healthy diet and exercise, significantly reduces the risk of long-term diabetic complications.
