Brief Description
Indication
Type 2 DM
Administration
Should be taken 30 mintues before meal or with meal.
Adult Dose
Oral
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Adult: Initially, 40-80 mg daily gradually increased to 320 mg daily if necessary. Doses >160 mg daily are given in 2 divided doses.
Modified-release tab: Initially, 30 mg once daily, may increase in increments of 30 mg up to max 120 mg daily. Interval between doses should be at least 1 mth.
For non-respondent patients, dose may be increased after 2 wk.
Contraindication
Type 1 DM, diabetes complicated with ketoacidosis; hypersensitivity; severe renal and hepatic impairment. Pregnancy and lactation.
Mode of Action
Gliclazide stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells, reduces insulin uptake and glucose output by the liver, and increases insulin sensitivity at peripheral target sites. It decreases microthrombosis by partial inhibition of platelet aggregation and adhesion, and by restoring fibrinolysis w/ an increase in tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity.
Precaution
Monitor blood glucose concentration. May require insulin during metabolic stress. Care when transferring from combination therapy. Increased risk of severe hypoglycaemia in elderly, debilitated patients, patients with hepatic or renal impairment. Risk of hypogylcaemia when caloric intake is deficient, after strenuous exercise, when taken with ethanol or when >1 antidiabetic drug is used.
Side Effect
GI disturbances, skin reaction, leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, haemolytic anaemia, cholestatic jaundice, vomiting, diarrhoea, gastritis, increased transaminases.
Interaction
May increase hypoglycaemic effect w/ phenylbutazone. Potentiation of blood glucose lowering effect w/ other antidiabetics (e.g. acarbose, insulins, metformin), beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, H2-receptor antagonists, MAOIs, sulfonamides, clarithromycin and NSAIDs. Chlorpromazine, glucocorticoids, ritodrine, salbutamol and terbutaline may cause increases in blood glucose levels. May diminish hypoglycaemic effect w/ danazol. May increase anticoagulant effect of warfarin.
Potentially Fatal: Increased hypoglycaemic effect w/ miconazole
