Diapro 30 MR
What Diapro® MR is and what it is used for?Gliclazide is a second generation sulfonylurea that has hypoglycemic and potentially useful hemobiological properties. It stimulates the influx of calcium ions into pancreatic beta cells and as a result increases insulin secretion. Moreover, in vivo studies have demonstrated changes in thrombin-induced platelet aggregation in NIDDM patients treated with gliclazide. Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (type-II) when dietary modification has failed.Before you take Diapro® MRHigh Risk GroupsNeonates : The drug is not used in neonatesNursing mothers : The drug should not be used by breast-feeding mothers.Children : Gliclazide is contraindicated in childrenPregnant women : Gliclazide, as other sulfonylurea, is contraindicated for use in pregnant women. No teratological changes have been shown in animals or human, but diabetes can be controlled more tightly in pregnancy by insulin than by oral hypoglycemic agents.Elderly : All sulfonylureas should be used with caution in the elderly because of the greater likelihood of their missing meals and the more severe outcome of significant hypoglycemia.Concurrent disease : Definite hepatic disease should contraindicate the use of Gliclazide, since it is almost completely metabolized in the liver. Renal disease does not appear significantly to alter the pharmacokinetics, although it may be wise to limit the maximum dose when the serum creatinine starts to rise.Drug InteractionsPotentially hazardous interactions - These may be divided into those which will tend to increase the hypoglycemic effect and those tending to oppose it. In the first category come drugs which displace the sulfonylurea from protein binding, such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, phenylbutazone, clofibrate, sulfonamides and coumarin anticoagulants, or which inhibit, hepatic microsomal enzymes, for example cimetidine, sulfonamides, imidazole antifungal agents and the monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), which may increase the hypoglycemic effect of Gliclazide. Any effects, which result from protein-binding displacement, are transient, lasting from 12-24 hrs. Regular concomitant doses of these agents together with a constant dose of Gliclazide would not cause problems.The hypoglycemic action of sulfonylureas may be opposed by the induction of hepatic enzymes, which metabolize the drug causing lower plasma concentrations and less hypoglycemic effect. Common inducers include rifampicin, barbiturates, phenytoin and alcohol, or by drugs that inhibit the release or action of insulin, e.g. thiazide diuretics, dizoxide, glucocorticoids, estrogens or sympathomimetic drugs. Early symptoms of hypoglycemia such as tremor, sweating and tachycardia may be masked by beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drugs, such as propranolol allowing severe hypoglycemic episodes without preceding warning symptoms. If beta-adrenoreceptor blocking drugs are required the moreselective types, such as metoprolol or atenolol, are preferred in the diabetic patient.How to take Diapro® MRInitially 40-80 mg daily, adjusted according to response; up to 160 mg as a single dose, with breakfast; higher doses divided; maximum 320 mg daily. Switching from Gliclazide 80 mg tablets to Gliclazide 30 mg modified release tablets. 1 tablet of Gliclazide 80 mg is comparable to 1 tablet of Gliclazide 30 mg modified release tablet. Consequently the switch can be performed provided a careful blood monitoring.Possible side effectsPotentially life-threatening effects - All hypoglycemic agents have the potential to cause severe hypoglycemia and may cause severe brain damage or death. Gliclazide used in standard dose is less likely than glyburide to cause hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may be favored by concurrent conditions such as hepatic and renal disease, malnutrition, anorexia, senility, alcohol intoxication or adrenal and pituitary insufficiency.Severe or irreversible adverse effects - Approximately 2% of patients have been withdrawn from therapy because of adverse reactions, namely hypoglycemia (overdose effect), gastrointestinal disturbances and dermatological reactions.Symptomatic adverse effects - Side effects of Gliclazide treatment are similar to those of other sulfonylureas. Headache, gastrointestinal upsets, nausea and dizziness have been reported and skin reactions, including rash, pruritus, erythema and bullous eruptions may occur. Abnormalities of liver function are not uncommon.How to store Diapro® MRKeep in a cool & dry place. Protect from light. Keep out of the reach of children...

Gliclid 80 mg Tab
Gliclid 80 mg TabCOMPOSITIONGliclidTM 80: Each tablet contains Gliclazide BP 80 mg.GliclidTM MR: Each modified release tablet contains Gliclazide BP 30 mg.GliclidTM 60 MR: Each modified release tablet contains Gliclazide BP 60 mg.PHARMACOLOGYGliclidTM (Gliclazide) is a second generation oral hypoglycemic sulphonylurea, which stimulates the release of insulin from functioning pancreatic β-cells. This is mediated by an increase in the intracellular ratio of ATP/ADP, which inhibits K+ -ATP channels. Inaddition, there is evidence that Gliclazide has action on peripheral tissues. This has been shown to enhance glycogen synthesis and inhibit glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver. This may also improve peripheral glucose uptake by muscles.INDICATIONSGliclazide is indicated in non-insulin dependent diabetes (type II) when dietary modification has failed.DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATIONRoute of administration : Oral.Adult: The usual initial dose is 40-80 mg (1/2-1 tablet) given orally daily which may if needed gradually increased upto 320 mg daily until adequate control is achieved. A single dose should not exceed 160 mg (2 tablets). When higher doses are required, GliclidTM should be taken twice daily and according to the main meals of the day. For GliclidTM MR tablet the initial recommended dose is 30 mg daily, even in elderly patients (>65 years); the daily dose may vary from 30 mg to 120 mg taken orally. Dose titration should be carried out in steps of 30 mg, according to the fasting blood glucose response. Each step should last for at least two weeks. GliclidTM MR is a Modified release tablet and therefore, should be neither broken nor chewed.Elderly: Plasma clearance of Gliclazide is not altered in the elderly and steady state plasma levels are similar to those in adults under 65 years. Clinical experience in the elderly shows that Gliclazide is effective and well tolerated.Children: Gliclazide, as with other sulphonylureas is not indicated for the treatment of juvenile onset diabetes mellitus. It is recommended that the medication be taken at breakfast time. If a dose is forgotten, the dose taken on the next day should not be increased.OR AS DIRECTED BY THE PHYSICIAN.CONTRAINDICATIONSGliclazide is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug. It is also contraindicated in patients with juvenile onset diabetes (type-1), diabetes associated with ketosis and acidosis, diabetic patients undergoing surgery, after severe injury or during infection.PRECAUTIONSCare should be exercised in patients with hepatic and renal impairment and a small starting dose should be used with careful patient monitoring. It has been suggested thatGliclazide may be suitable for use in patients with renal impairment, but careful monitoring of blood-sugar concentration is essential.SIDE EFFECTSCommon : As with other sulphonylureas, hypoglycemia will occur if the patients dietary intake is reduced or if they are receiving a larger dose of Gliclazide than required.Rare : Mild gastro-intestinal disturbances including nausea, dyspepsia, diarrhea and constipation have been reported, but these type of adverse reaction can be avoided ifGliclazide is taken during a meal.USE IN PREGNANCY AND LACTATIONPregnancy : Gliclazide, as other sulphonylureas, is contraindicated for use in pregnant women.Lactation : It has not yet been established whether Gliclazide is transferred to human milk. However, other sulphonylureas have been found in milk, there is no evidence to suggest that Gliclazide differs from the group in this respect. Therefore, if use is deemed essential, the patient should stop nursing.DRUG INTERACTIONSWith Medicine : The hypoglycemic effects of Gliclazide may be increased by Aspirin,NSAIDs, Phenylbutazone, Clofibrate, sulfonamide, Cemetidine, Imidazole antifungal agents and Monoamino Oxidase Inhibitors. The hypoglycemic effect of Gliclazide sometimes may be reduced by Rifampin, Barbiturates, Phenytoin, Thiazide diuretics,Diazoxide, Glucocorticoids, Estrogens, Sympathomymetic drugs and occasionally alcohol.With food : There are no established drug-food interaction.OVERDOSEThe administration of an excessive dose results in hypoglycemia (refer to warnings) which should be treated immediately by the administration of sugar. If the patient is unconscious, immediately inform a doctor and call the emergency service.STORAGEKeep all medicines out of reach of children. Store below 300 C and dry place, protected from light.PACKINGGliclidTM 80 : Each box contains 5x10 tablets in blister strips.GliclidTM MR : Each box contains 3x10 tablets in blister strips.GliclidTM 60 MR : Each box contains 3x10 tablets in blister strips...
