About Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's

Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition affecting how your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or if at all the insulin is produced, it is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Due to this, the blood glucose level increases and symptoms such as frequent urination increased thirst and increased hunger start. 

Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's contains Gliclazide, metformin and pioglitazone. Gliclazide works by increasing the insulin released by the pancreas. Metformin acts by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body's response to insulin. Pioglitazone works by decreasing the amount of glucose released by the liver and improving the sensitivity of tissues of muscles and fats towards insulin effects.

In some cases, Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's may cause side effects such as nausea, taste change, weight gain, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach ache, and a respiratory infection. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually overtime. However, talk to the doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Do not take Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's if you are allergic to any of its components, have diabetic ketoacidosis (excess acids in your blood), type 1 diabetes mellitus or severe kidney/liver disease. Please inform the doctor if you have heart disease, are pregnant, are planning to get pregnant or are breastfeeding. Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's may cause lactic acidosis (accumulation of lactic acid in the blood), which requires immediate medical attention. Do not consume alcohol (risk of lactic acidosis) or fast for prolonged periods (risk of hypoglycemia).

Uses of Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's

Medicinal Benefits

Glycotrol Total 30 Tablet 15's contains Gliclazide, Metformin, and Pioglitazone. Gliclazide increases the production of insulin by acting on the pancreas.
