Gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea, lowers blood glucose by stimulating insulin release from pancreatic β-cells. This occurs by enhancing calcium ion influx across the β-cell membrane. Additionally, it reduces hepatic glucose production, contributing to improved glycemic control. Hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia may impair concentration and reaction time. Caution is advised when driving or operating machinery.
