Directions for Use

Take Pharmaniaga Gliclazide 80mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically with breakfast or the first main meal of the day, to help reduce the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). Do not skip meals after taking this medicine, and do not change your dose without first consulting your doctor.

Dosage

The dose of Pharmaniaga Gliclazide 80mg Tablet is individualised by the prescribing doctor based on blood glucose monitoring, typically starting at a low dose such as 40 to 80mg daily and adjusted gradually, up to a maximum daily dose as advised, which may be taken as a single dose or in divided doses with meals. Regular blood glucose and HbA1c monitoring is used to guide dose adjustments.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Alcohol can increase the risk and unpredictability of hypoglycaemia when combined with gliclazide
  • Other antidiabetic medicines, including insulin, may increase the overall blood-glucose-lowering effect and hypoglycaemia risk when combined

  • NSAIDs and some other medicines that are highly protein-bound may increase gliclazide’s effect
  • Corticosteroids and thiazide diuretics can reduce blood glucose control and may require dose review
  • Beta-blockers may mask some of the warning symptoms of hypoglycaemia, such as a fast heartbeat

Relevant Information

Pharmaniaga Gliclazide 80mg Tablet requires ongoing medical supervision because the dose needs to be matched to each patient’s blood glucose response, and because sulfonylureas carry a real risk of hypoglycaemia if the dose, meal timing, or other medicines are not managed carefully. This is why an online consultation with a doctor via DoctorOnCall is required before this medicine is dispensed, and why regular follow-up is an important part of treatment.
