Gliclazide MR Tablets

Gliclazide MR Tablets are a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults when diet, exercise, and weight control alone are not enough to manage blood sugar levels. The active ingredient, gliclazide, belongs to a group of medicines called sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. This helps lower blood glucose levels and improves overall diabetes control.
