What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.

  • Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
  • It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
  • It\’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
  • It\’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It\’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don\’t necessarily make you feel unwell.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

  • peeing more than usual, particularly at night
  • feeling thirsty all the time
  • feeling very tired
  • losing weight without trying to
  • itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
  • cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
  • blurred vision

You\’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:

  • are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
  • have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
  • are overweight or obese
  • are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK

Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication

Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.

The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You\’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.

Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.

How to manage your diabetes

A healthy diet and keeping active will help you manage your blood sugar level. It will also help you to control your weight and generally feel better.

YOU CAN EAT MANY TYPES OF FOODS

There\’s nothing you can\’t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you\’ll have to limit certain foods.

You should:

  • eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
  • keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
  • eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don\’t skip meals

If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.

How to Use

How to take Gliclazide MR 60mg Tablets

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Dose
The dose is determined by the doctor, depending on your blood and possibly urine
sugar levels.
Change in external factors (e.g. weight reduction, change in life style, stress) or
improvements in the blood sugar control may require changed gliclazide doses.
The recommended starting dose is 30mg.
For 30mg tablets: The recommended daily dose is one to four tablets (maximum 120mg) in a single intake at breakfast time. This depends on
the response to treatment.
For 60mg tablets: The tablet can be divided into equal doses. The recommended daily dose is half to two tablets (maximum 120mg) in a single intake at breakfast time. This depends on the response to treatment.
If a combination therapy of Gliclazide with metformin, an alpha glucosidase inhibitor, a thiazolidinedione, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, a GLP-1 receptor agonist or insulin is initiated your doctor will determine the proper dose of each medicine individually for you.
If you notice that your blood sugar levels are high although you are taking the medicine as prescribed, you should contact your doctor or
pharmacist.
For 30mg tablets: Swallow your whole tablet(s) in one piece.
For 60mg tablets: Swallow your half tablet or whole tablet(s) in one piece.
Take your tablet(s) with a glass of water at breakfast time (and preferably at the same time each day). Do not chew them. You must always eat a meal after taking your tablet(s).
If you take more Gliclazide than you should
If you take too many tablets, contact your doctor or the nearest hospital Accident &
Emergency department immediately. The signs of overdose are those of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) described in section 2. The symptoms can be helped by taking sugar (4 to 6 lumps) or sugary drinks straight away,
followed by a substantial snack or meal. If the patient is unconscious, immediately inform a doctor and call the emergency services.
The same should be done if somebody, e.g. a child, has taken the product unintentionally.
Unconscious patients must not be given food or drink.
It should be ensured that there is always a preinformed person that can call a doctor in case of emergency.
If you forget to take Gliclazide
It is important to take your medicine every day as regular treatment works better. However, if you forget to take a dose of Gliclazide, take the next dose at the usual time. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you stop taking Gliclazide
As the treatment for diabetes is usually life long, you should discuss with your doctor before stopping this medicinal product.
Stopping could cause high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) which increases the risk of
developing complications of diabetes.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist

Product Details

Gliclazide MR 60mg Tablets Product Information

What you need to know before you take Gliclazide
Do not take Gliclazide if you:
• are allergic to gliclazide or any of the other ingredients in this medicine (listed in section 6), or to other medicines in the same group (sulfonylureas), or to other related medicines (hypoglycaemic sulfonamides)
• have insulin-dependent diabetes (type 1)
• have ketone bodies and sugar in your urine (this may mean you have diabetic ketoacidosis), a diabetic pre-coma or coma
• have severe kidney or liver disease
• are taking medicines to treat fungal infections (miconazole, see section ‘Other medicines and Gliclazide’)
• are breast-feeding (see section ‘Pregnancy and breast-feeding’).
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Gliclazide.
You should observe the treatment plan prescribed by your doctor to achieve proper
blood sugar levels. This means, apart from regular tablet intake, you observe the dietary regimen, have physical exercise and where necessary, reduce weight.
During gliclazide treatment regular monitoring of your blood (and possibly urine) sugar level and also your glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is necessary.
In the first few weeks of treatment the risk of having reduced blood sugar levels
(hypoglycaemia) may be increased. So particularly close medical monitoring is
necessary.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) may occur:
• if you take meals irregularly or skip meals altogether
• if you are fasting
• if you are malnourished
• if you change your diet
• if you increase your physical activity and carbohydrate intake does not match this
increase
• if you drink alcohol, especially in combination with skipped meals
• if you take other medicines or natural remedies at the same time
• if you take too high a dose of gliclazide
• if you suffer from particular hormone-induced disorders (functional disorders of the thyroid gland, of the pituitary gland or adrenal cortex)
• if your kidney function or liver function is severely decreased.
If you have low blood sugar you may have the following symptoms: headache, intense hunger, nausea, vomiting, weariness, sleep disorders, restlessness, aggressiveness, poor concentration, reduced alertness and reaction
time, depression, confusion, speech or visual disorders, tremor, sensory disturbances, dizziness and helplessness.
The following signs and symptoms may also occur: sweating, clammy skin, anxiety, fast or irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, sudden strong pain in the chest that may radiate into nearby areas (angina pectoris).
If blood sugar levels continue to drop you may suffer from considerable confusion (delirium), develop convulsions, lose self control, your breathing may be shallow and your heart beat slowed down, you may become unconscious.

In most cases the symptoms of low blood
sugar vanish very quickly when you consume some form of sugar, e.g. glucose tablets, sugar
cubes, sweet juice, sweetened tea. You should therefore always carry some form of sugar with you (glucose tablets, sugar cubes). Remember that artificial sweeteners are not effective.
Please contact your doctor or the nearest
hospital if taking sugar does not help or if the symptoms recur.
Symptoms of low blood sugar may be absent, less obvious or develop very slowly or you are not aware in time that your blood sugar level has dropped. This may happen if you are an elderly patient taking certain medicines (e.g.
those acting on the central nervous system and beta blockers).
If you are in stress-situations (e.g. accidents,
surgical operations, fever etc.) your doctor may
temporarily switch you to insulin therapy.
Symptoms of high blood sugar
(hyperglycaemia) may occur when gliclazide
has not yet sufficiently reduced the blood
sugar, when you have not complied with the
treatment plan prescribed by your doctor, if
you take St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum)
preparations (see section ‘Other medicines
and Gliclazide), or in special stress situations.
These may include thirst, frequent urination,
dry mouth, dry itchy skin, skin infections and
reduced performance.
If these symptoms occur, you must contact your
doctor or pharmacist.
Blood glucose disturbance (low blood sugar
and high blood sugar) can occur when
gliclazide is prescribed at the same time than
medicines belonging to a class of antibiotics
called fluoroquinolones, especially in elderly
patients. In this case, your doctor will remind
you the importance of monitoring your blood
glucose.
If you have a family history of or know you
have the hereditary condition glucose-6-
phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency
(abnormality of red blood cells), lowering of the
haemoglobin level and breakdown of red blood
cells (haemolytic anaemia) can occur. Contact
your doctor before taking this medicinal
product.
Cases of acute porphyria have been described
with some other sulfonylurea drugs, in patients
who have porphyria (inherited genetic
disorders with accumulation in the body of
porphyrins or porphyrin precursors).
Children and adolescents
Gliclazide is not recommended for use in
children and adolescents due to a lack of data.
Other medicines and Gliclazide
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking,
have recently taken or might take any other
medicines.
The blood sugar lowering effect of gliclazide
may be strengthened and signs of low blood
sugar levels may occur when one of the
following medicines is taken:
• Other medicines used to treat high blood
sugar (oral anti-diabetics, GLP-1 receptor
inhibitors or insulin)
• Antibiotics (e.g. sulfonamides or
clarithromycin)
• Medicines to treat high blood pressure or
heart failure (beta blockers, ACE-inhibitors
such as captopril or enalpril)
• Medicines to treat fungal infections (e.g.
miconazole, fluconazole)
• Medicines to treat ulcers in the stomach or
duodenum (H2
receptor antagonists)
• Medicines to treat depression (monamine
oxidase inhibitors)
• Painkillers or antirheumatics (phenylbutazone,
ibuprofen)
• Medicines containing alcohol.
The blood glucose lowering effect of gliclazide
may be weakened and raised blood sugar
levels may occur when one of the following
medicines is taken:
• Medicines to treat disorders of the central
nervous system (chlorpromazine)
• Medicines reducing inflammation
(corticosteroids or tetracosactrin)
• Medicines to treat asthma or used during
labour (intravenous salbutamol, ritodrine and
terbutaline)
• Medicines to treat breast disorders, heavy
menstrual bleeding and endometriosis
(danazol)
• St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum)
preparations.
Blood glucose disturbance (low blood sugar
and high blood sugar) can occur when a
medicine belonging to a class of antibiotics
called fluoroquinolones is taken at the same
time as Gliclazide, especially in elderly patients.
Gliclazide may increase the effects of medicines
which reduce blood clotting (e.g. warfarin).
Consult your doctor before you start taking
another medicinal product. If you go into
hospital tell the medical staff you are taking
Gliclazide.

Gliclazide with food, drink and alcohol
Gliclazide can be taken with food and nonalcoholic drinks.
Drinking alcohol is not recommended as it
can alter the control of your diabetes in an
unpredictable manner.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Pregnancy
Gliclazide is not recommended for use during
pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are
planning to have a baby, ask your doctor
or pharmacist for advice before taking this
medicine.
Breast-feeding
You must not take Gliclazide while you are
breast-feeding.
Driving and using machines
Your ability to concentrate or react may
be impaired if your blood sugar is too low
(hypoglycaemia) or too high (hyperglycaemia)
or if you develop visual problems as a result of
such conditions. Bear in mind that you could
endanger yourself or others (e.g. when driving
a car or using machines).
Please ask your doctor whether you can drive a
car if you:
• have frequent episodes of low blood sugar
(hypoglycaemia)
• have few or no warning signals of low blood
sugar (hypoglycaemia).
Gliclazide contains lactose
If you have been told by your doctor that you
have an intolerance to some sugars, contact
your doctor before taking this medicinal
product.

Side Effects

Side Effects of Gliclazide MR 60mg Tablets

Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side
effects, although not everybody gets them.
The most commonly observed side effect is low
blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). For symptoms
and signs

If left untreated these symptoms could
progress to drowsiness, loss of consciousness or
possibly coma. If an episode of low blood sugar
is severe or prolonged, even if it is temporarily
controlled by eating sugar, you should seek
immediate medical attention.
Blood disorders
Decrease in the number of cells in the blood
has been reported (e.g. platelets, red and
white blood cells). This may cause paleness,
prolonged bleeding, bruising, sore throat and
fever. These symptoms usually vanish when the
treatment is discontinued.
Liver disorders
There have been isolated reports of abnormal
liver function, which can cause yellow skin
and eyes. If you get this, see your doctor
immediately. The symptoms generally
disappear if the medicine is stopped. Your
doctor will decide whether to stop your
treatment.
Skin disorders
Skin reactions have been reported such as:
rash, redness, itching, hives, angioedema (rapid
swelling of tissues such as eyelids, face, lips,
mouth, tongue or throat that may result in
breathing difficulty). The rash may progress to
widespread blistering or peeling of the skin.
Exceptionally, signs of severe hypersensitivity
reactions (DRESS) have been reported; initially
as flu-like symptoms and a rash on the face,
then an extended rash with a high temperature.
Digestive disorders
Stomach pain or discomfort, feeling or being
sick, indigestion, diarrhoea and constipation.
These effects are reduced when Gliclazide
is taken with a meal as recommended, see
section 3 ‘How to take Gliclazide’.
Eye disorders
Your vision may be affected for a short time,
especially at the start of treatment. This effect is
due to changes in blood sugar levels.
As for other sulfonylureas, the following
adverse events have been observed: cases
of severe changes in the number of blood
cells and allergic inflammation of the wall
of blood vessels; reduction in blood sodium
(hyponatraemia); and symptoms of liver
impairment (e.g. jaundice), which in most
cases disappeared after withdrawal of the
sulfonylurea, but may lead to life threatening
liver failure in isolated cases.
Reporting of side effects
If you get any side effects
