RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S

How RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S Works

• RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S is an oral hypoglycemic agent, also known as an antidiabetic medicine, primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, especially in individuals whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled by diet and exercise alone. It contains Gliclazide as its active ingredient, which belongs to the sulfonylurea class of medications. Gliclazide works primarily by stimulating the release of insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose (sugar) move from the blood into cells, where it is used for energy.
• Specifically, Gliclazide binds to specific receptors on the beta cells of the pancreas. This binding causes the beta cells to depolarize, leading to an influx of calcium ions into the cells. The increase in intracellular calcium triggers the fusion of insulin-containing vesicles with the cell membrane, resulting in the secretion of insulin into the bloodstream. By promoting insulin release, Gliclazide helps lower blood glucose levels after meals and throughout the day.
• RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S is a modified-release formulation, meaning that the gliclazide is released gradually over a prolonged period. This helps to provide a more stable and consistent control of blood sugar levels throughout the day, reducing the risk of both hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The 'MR' in the name stands for 'Modified Release.'
• In addition to its effect on insulin secretion, Gliclazide may also improve insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues, such as muscle and fat. This means that the body's cells become more responsive to insulin, allowing glucose to be utilized more effectively. Furthermore, Gliclazide possesses some antioxidant properties and may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes. It is generally prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential to ensure optimal control and to adjust the dosage of RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S as needed.

Like all medicines, RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. The most common side effects are usually mild and transient. These include: * **Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar):** This is the most important side effect. Symptoms can include sweating, paleness, shakiness, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, hunger, headache, blurred vision, and confusion. Severe hypoglycemia can lead to loss of consciousness and even be life-threatening. * **Gastrointestinal issues:** Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain are common. * **Visual disturbances:** Blurred vision, especially at the start of treatment, due to changes in blood sugar levels. * **Skin reactions:** Rash, itching, hives, and other allergic skin reactions. Less common but potentially serious side effects include: * **Blood disorders:** Rarely, RECLIDE MR 60MG TABLET 10'S can cause a decrease in blood cells (such as platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells), which can lead to bleeding, bruising, infections, and anemia. * **Liver problems:** In rare cases, it can cause liver problems such as hepatitis or jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). * **Severe skin reactions:** Very rarely, severe skin reactions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) can occur. These are serious and require immediate medical attention. * **Changes in liver enzyme levels:** Some people may experience elevated liver enzyme levels during treatment. Other possible side effects: * Headache * Dizziness * Fatigue * Generally feeling unwell
