Overview

Clamide 5mg Tablet contains Glibenclamide 5mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in pack sizes of 10s and 100s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Clamide should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily shortly before a meal, as taking it with food helps reduce the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, and do not skip meals after taking a dose, as this increases the risk of hypoglycaemia.

Dosage

The starting dose and subsequent adjustments are determined by your doctor based on your blood glucose levels and response to treatment, typically starting at a low dose and gradually increased as needed. Do not change your dose or stop taking Clamide without consulting your doctor, even if you feel your blood sugar is well controlled.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
