How it Works?
Gliclanux XR 60 Tablet contains gliclazide (60 mg), which functions by:
• Stimulating Insulin Release: Gliclazide prompts the pancreatic beta cells to release more insulin. This hormone is crucial for the regulation of blood glucose levels.
• Increasing Sensitivity to Insulin: It enhances the insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues like muscles and fat, facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream.
• Decreasing Glucose Production: Additionally, gliclazide impedes hepatic glucose production by the liver, maintaining normal blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes.
