Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet 15's

Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone cannot control blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong disorder that affects the way our body processes glucose. 

Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet contains gliclazide, which works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreases blood sugar levels. Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet prevents the blood glucose level from rising, thus keeping your blood sugar level under control.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as stomach ache or indigestion, feeling sick (nausea), vomiting, and constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, please consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Glycinorm-OD 60 Tablet , as it might increase the side effects (hypoglycemia). Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects.
