Is the active ingredient in this medication.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (noninsulin dependent diabetes) to control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
Gliclavin 60mg Tablet Xr (Gliclazide) belongs to a class of drugs called sulfonylureas. It works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose (sugar) enter your cells, where it is used for energy. By increasing insulin production, gliclazide helps lower blood sugar levels.

The dosage of gliclazide is determined by your doctor and will depend on your individual needs.
