GLICAFINE M 80/500

Product Description – Glicafine M 80/500

Glicafine M 80/500 is a fixed-dose combination anti-diabetic medicine that contains Gliclazide 80 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg. It is prescribed for the effective management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in patients whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, or monotherapy.

How It Works:

• Gliclazide (80 mg): A sulfonylurea that stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, helping to lower blood glucose levels.

• Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg): A biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production, enhances insulin sensitivity, and improves glucose uptake by muscles and tissues.

Together, these two agents provide synergistic action for better blood sugar control and reduced risk of long-term complications.

Key Benefits:

• Dual action for effective glycemic control.

• Improves insulin secretion and sensitivity.

• Helps prevent complications like cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy.

• Suitable for patients not controlled with a single anti-diabetic agent.

Indications:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (when diet, lifestyle modifications, and monotherapy are inadequate).

Dosage & Administration:

• To be taken as directed by the physician. Dosage may vary depending on the patient’s health condition and glucose levels.

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Keep out of reach of children.

Note:

• Use only under medical supervision.
