Glizid 80mg Tablet contains Gliclazide 80mg


Gliclazide belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas. It works by increasing insulin sensitivity and decreasing glucose production by the liver. This helps to lower elevated blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes


When you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not produce enough insulin or does not use insulin effectively. This leads to high levels of glucose in the blood


Gliclazide helps to increase insulin sensitivity, which means that the cells in your body become more responsive to insulin. This, in turn, helps to lower the elevated blood sugar levels in your body
