DIAMICORN MR 10S

About

DIAMICORN MR 10S contains Gliclazide Modified Release, an oral antidiabetic medication belonging to the sulfonylurea class. It is used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. Gliclazide works primarily by stimulating the pancreatic beta cells to release insulin, thereby lowering blood glucose levels. The modified-release formulation ensures a sustained release of the active ingredient, providing consistent glycemic control throughout the day with once-daily dosing. This helps to reduce both fasting and post-prandial blood glucose levels effectively. DIAMICORN MR is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise when these measures alone are insufficient to control blood sugar. It helps to achieve target HbA1c levels, which is crucial for preventing or delaying the onset of long-term diabetic complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system. Its sustained action contributes to better patient adherence and glycemic stability.
