Relevant Information

The modified-release formulation of Oziclide MR provides more even blood glucose control across the day compared with immediate-release gliclazide and allows for simpler once-daily dosing, which can improve adherence to treatment. Regular monitoring of blood glucose (including HbA1c), as well as periodic assessment of kidney and liver function, is important to ensure safe and effective long-term use. Elderly patients and those with irregular meal patterns are at higher risk of hypoglycemia and should be monitored closely by their doctor.
