Description

Reclide 80mg is an oral medication used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It contains Gliclazide, which belongs to the class of sulfonylureas, and is commonly prescribed to help control blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes. This product comes in a strip of 15 tablets, each containing 80 mg of Gliclazide.

Composition:

Each tablet of Reclide 80mg contains:

• Gliclazide IP: 80 mg

Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea that works by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. It helps lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin secretion, which is beneficial for patients with Type 2 diabetes who have insufficient insulin production.

Indications and Uses:

Reclide 80mg is used for:

• Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: It helps control blood sugar levels, especially when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.
• Blood Sugar Regulation: By stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin, it helps in the regulation of glucose levels after meals.

Dosage and Administration:

The typical dosage of Reclide 80mg is one tablet per day, usually taken before or with meals. The exact dosage should be determined by your healthcare provider based on individual needs and response to treatment. It is essential to follow the doctor’s instructions carefully to avoid complications such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Precautions:

• Kidney and Liver Function: Reclide 80mg should be used with caution in patients with impaired kidney or liver function, and regular monitoring is recommended.
• Hypoglycemia Risk: Since Gliclazide can cause low blood sugar, patients should be aware of symptoms like shaking, sweating, dizziness, and confusion.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Always consult a doctor before use if pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Side Effects:

• Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): Symptoms include dizziness, weakness, and sweating.
• Gastrointestinal issues: Such as nausea, vomiting, or indigestion, which are possible with sulfonylureas like Gliclazide.
• Allergic Reactions: Skin rash or itching may occur, though these are less common.
