Product Introduction
Glizid-M XR 60 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination medicine helps control blood sugar levels by utilizing the combined action of two active ingredients, Gliclazide and Metformin. It is essential in preventing the complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and vision issues.
Glizid-M XR 60 Tablet should be taken with food to reduce the chances of an upset stomach. For the best results, take it consistently at the same time each day, as directed by your healthcare provider. The dosage will depend on your specific needs and blood sugar levels, and your doctor may adjust it over time. It’s important to continue using this medication as prescribed, even if you feel well, as stopping it could result in elevated blood sugar and an increased risk of complications.
In addition to taking this medicine, maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and managing weight are key components of a comprehensive treatment plan for diabetes.

How Glizid-M XR 60 Tablet Works
Glizid-M XR 60 Tablet combines two antidiabetic medicines:
- Gliclazide (60mg): A sulfonylurea that works by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
- Metformin (500mg): Works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin, helping to control blood sugar levels.
