Directions for Use

Take Novugen Diaglycon MR 30mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, swallowed whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablet, as this can affect the modified-release mechanism and how the medicine is absorbed. Eating a meal after taking this tablet is important to reduce the risk of low blood sugar.

Dosage

The starting dose and any subsequent adjustments are determined by your doctor based on your blood glucose readings, HbA1c levels, kidney and liver function, and response to treatment; the dose must not be self-adjusted. Your doctor may periodically review your dose and may combine this medicine with other diabetes medicines or insulin depending on your overall blood sugar control. Missing a dose should be discussed with your doctor or pharmacist rather than doubling the next dose.

Side Effects

  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia)
  • Nausea or stomach discomfort
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Weight gain
  • Skin rashes (rare)

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to gliclazide, other sulfonylureas, or sulfonamide-derived medicines.
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • Severe kidney or liver impairment, unless specifically directed by your doctor.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding, where insulin is generally preferred for blood sugar control.
  • Should not be started, stopped, or dose-adjusted without your doctor’s guidance.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Alcohol can increase the risk and severity of hypoglycaemia and should be limited or avoided as advised by your doctor.
  • Certain medicines such as some antifungals, antibiotics, and NSAIDs can increase gliclazide’s blood-sugar-lowering effect, raising hypoglycaemia risk.
  • Corticosteroids, some diuretics, and certain hormonal medicines can raise blood sugar and reduce gliclazide’s effectiveness.
  • Other diabetes medicines, including insulin, can have an additive blood-sugar-lowering effect; dose adjustments may be needed if used together.
  • Inform your doctor of all other medicines and supplements you are taking to help manage these interactions safely.
