About Gli 80Mg Tab

Gli 80Mg Tab belongs to the class of drugs called ''oral hypoglycemic'' used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disorder that affects the way our body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes.

Gli 80Mg Tab contains gliclazide. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreases blood sugar levels. Gli 80Mg Tab prevents the blood glucose level from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your blood sugar level under control.

Gli 80Mg Tab should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach ache or indigestion, feeling sick (nausea), vomiting (diarrhoea), and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, please consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not stop taking Gli 80Mg Tab on your own since it may cause a rise in your blood sugar levels leading to other health issues like blindness, kidney damage, and loss of limbs. Before starting Gli 80Mg Tab, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant or breastfeeding. And also, tell the doctor if you have/had any medical history of heart, liver, and kidney diseases, glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency (abnormality of red blood cells), and haemolytic anaemia. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Gli 80Mg Tab; it might increase the side effects (hypoglycemia). Inform your doctor about all the medicine you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects. Gli 80Mg Tab works best when coupled with a healthy lifestyle like losing weight if you are overweight (BMI >25), eating fewer calories (low fat and sugary food), and being more physically active (at least 150 min of activity every week).

Uses of Gli 80Mg Tab

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Medicinal Benefits

Gli 80Mg Tab plays a vital role in managing diabetes and achieving good control of blood sugar levels. Gli 80Mg Tab is a class of medications called a sulfonylurea, which decreases raised blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release from the beta cells located in the pancreas (insulin-secreting organ). In a nutshell, Gli 80Mg Tab prevents the blood glucose level from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your blood sugar level under control. Gli 80Mg Tab plays a vital role in controlling blood sugar levels and prevents serious complications of diabetes like retinopathy (eyesight loss), nephropathy (kidney problems), neuropathy (nerve damage), diabetic foot ulcer and delayed wound healing. Gli 80Mg Tab shows optimum effects when taken along with healthy lifestyle changes like weight loss, a healthy diet, and regular exercise.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Type 2 diabetes: It is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that keeps the body away from properly utilizing insulin. Hence, people affected with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or are resistant to insulin. Middle-aged or older are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, which is also known as adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include frequent urination at night, increased thirst, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue and blurred vision. There may be weight gain in some cases, while in rare cases, weight loss may be observed. The complication of type 2 diabetes also includes nerve problems, kidney problems and damaged retina of the eyes or blindness, loss of limbs, sexual dysfunction, and an increased chance of heart attack or stroke.

    FAQs

    How does Gli 80Mg Tab work?

    Gli 80Mg Tab helps to control the blood sugar level. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreases blood sugar levels. Gli 80Mg Tab prevents the blood glucose level from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your blood sugar level under control.

    What is the difference between type1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes?

    In type 1 diabetes, the body doesn’t produce insulin as the islet cells (insulin-producing cells) in the pancreas are destroyed. In type 2 diabetes, though islet cells are working, the body doesn’t respond to insulin as it becomes resistant to insulin.

    Can Gli 80Mg Tab cause Indigestion?

    Yes, Gli 80Mg Tab can cause indigestion. Eat a proper well-balanced diet and drink plenty of fluid to avoid it.

    What should I do if my blood sugar level suddenly goes down?

    Once blood sugar goes below the normal range (70mg/dl), it is called hypoglycemia or low blood sugar in people with diabetes. If you feel your blood sugar level is going down and feel weak, immediately eat sugar candies. It will help to balance the blood sugar level in your body. So, keeping sugar candies with you if you have diabetes is advisable.
