Diamicron (active ingredient: gliclazide) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Diamicron is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  2. Adjunct to Diet and Exercise: It is prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise to lower blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have not achieved adequate control with diet and exercise alone.

Diamicron belongs to the class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas, thereby increasing insulin levels in the body to control blood sugar levels.

Diamicron is available in various forms such as tablets and modified-release tablets. Typically, Diamicron is taken orally with or without food, usually once a day. To use Diamicron (Gliclazide) tablet, follow your doctor’s instructions and the medication label carefully. Take your tablets with a drink of water before a meal. If your doctor has asked you to take this medicine once a day, take your tablets before breakfast.

Your dosage will depend on your individual needs, response to treatment, and other medical conditions. It is important to take the medication at the same time(s) every day to help maintain a consistent blood sugar level. Additionally, monitor your blood sugar levels closely while taking Diamicron and inform your doctor of any changes or concerns.
