Diamicron XR is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is usually taken once daily with breakfast or the first main meal of the day. It can be used in combination with other diabetes medications or in conjunction with diet and exercise to manage blood sugar levels.
The active ingredient in Diamicron XR is gliclazide and it is available in tablet form. Gliclazide belongs to a group of medicines called sulfonylureas and helps to lower and control blood sugar levels in the body. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas and helping the body use insulin more efficiently.
The modified-release formulation of the medication is designed to release the drug slowly over a 24-hour period, providing a more consistent and longer-lasting effect compared to immediate-release formulations.
Diamicron XR comes in the form of Modified Release Tablets to take them orally once a day with breakfast or with the first main meal of the day. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not chewed, crushed, or broken. Crushing or chewing the tablets may change the effectiveness of the tablet.
The dosage may vary depending on your medical condition and response to treatment, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Monitor your blood sugar regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. Additionally, there may be certain people who should not take Diamicron XR, consult with your doctor before starting treatment.
Take your Diamicron XR at the same time each day – usually with breakfast. Taking the tablet with food can help to minimise the risk of hypoglycaemia. If is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to. Otherwise, take it as you remember (with food), then go back to taking your tablets as you would normally.
