Diamicron MR 30mg Tablet contains Gliclazide as its active ingredient. Gliclazide belongs to the class of medications known as sulfonylurea antidiabetic agents.

Uses

Diamicron MR 30mg Tablet is prescribed for the following purposes:

  • Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus: Gliclazide helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas, thereby improving glucose utilization by the body’s cells.
  • Prevention of diabetic complications: By maintaining optimal blood sugar control, Diamicron MR 30mg Tablet may reduce the risk of long-term complications associated with diabetes, such as heart disease, kidney damage, nerve damage, and vision problems.
