TISKAZIDE M OD 60MG TABLET 10'S

How TISKAZIDE M OD 60MG TABLET 10'S Works

• The two ingredients target blood sugar differently. Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea: it stimulates the beta cells of the pancreas to release more insulin, the hormone that lowers blood sugar, and improves the body's response to it. Metformin is a biguanide: it lowers blood sugar mainly by reducing the amount of glucose the liver produces, while improving insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake by muscles. Together they lower blood sugar more effectively than either alone. Because gliclazide directly boosts insulin release, the combination carries a real risk of low blood sugar.

The most important effect is low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) from the gliclazide component — especially if a meal is missed or delayed, with heavy exercise, or with alcohol. Signs include shakiness, sweating, hunger, palpitations, dizziness, and confusion. Digestive effects from metformin are also common and usually ease with time: nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, a metallic taste, and reduced appetite. Weight gain and, occasionally, skin rash can occur. Long-term metformin use can lower vitamin B12. Serious (seek medical attention): severe or prolonged low blood sugar (needs urgent treatment); lactic acidosis — a rare but serious build-up of acid in the blood (warning signs: unusual tiredness, muscle aches, difficulty breathing, feeling very cold, stomach pain, slow/irregular heartbeat); and, rarely, liver problems or significant blood-count changes.
