Prescription RequiredAbout Gliclapack 80mg Tablet 10's
Gliclapack 80mg Tablet 10's 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.
Gliclapack 80mg Tablet 10's 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. Gliclapack 80mg Tablet 10's prevents the blood glucose level from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your blood sugar level under control.
Gliclapack 80mg Tablet 10's should be taken in the dose and duration your doctor advises.

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.

Inform your doctor about all the medicine you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects. Gliclapack 80mg Tablet 10's 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).
