Indications
Dimerol 80 is a medication that is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sulfonylureas, and it helps diabetics control their blood sugar levels. This aids in the prevention of serious diabetes complications such as kidney damage and blindness.
Pharmacology
Dimerol 80 is a second-generation sulfonylurea with hypoglycemic and possibly hematological effects. By promoting Ca+2 transport across-cell membranes, it reduces hepatic glucose production while stimulating insulin release from pancreatic -cells.
Dosage & Administration
Interaction
Gliclazide's hypoglycemic effects may be enhanced by aspirin, NSAIDs, phenylbutazone, clofibrate, sulfonamide, cimetidine, imidazole antifungal medications, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Gliclazide's hypoglycemic effect may be reduced by Rifampin, Barbiturates, Phenytoin, Thiazide diuretics, Diazoxide, Glucocorticoids, Estrogens, Sympathomimetic medications, and Alcohol.
Contraindications
Dimerol 80 should not be used in the following situations:
Side Effects
Hypoglycemia can occur in the presence of other diseases such as hepatic and renal dysfunction, starvation, and alcohol abuse. Headaches, gastrointestinal disturbances, nausea, dizziness, and skin responses such as rash, pruritus, and erythema are all possible side effects.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnant women should avoid using gliclazide. It should not be used by a woman who is breastfeeding.
Precautions & Warnings
Gliclazide should be used with caution in people who have hepatic impairment. If there is clear evidence of liver disease, gliclazide should not be taken. Because gliclazide is thoroughly metabolized, it can be safely administered to patients with renal failure. Gliclazide is less likely to cause hypoglycemia than other sulfonylurea medications.
Storage Conditions
Store below 30°C and away from light in a cool, dry area.
