Glicia M 80 is a standard-strength anti-diabetic formulation designed for patients whose blood sugar levels are not managed by diet and exercise alone.
Gliclazide (80 mg) is a second-generation sulfonylurea that works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin (500 mg) is a biguanide that lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
This combination is particularly beneficial for long-term glycemic control, helping to lower HbA1c levels and reduce the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems (neuropathy), heart disease, and vision loss.
