Product Overview
About TEVA-GLICLAZIDE
TEVA-GLICLAZIDE is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This oral antidiabetic agent works by stimulating insulin release from the pancreatic beta cells, thereby reducing blood glucose levels.
Key Therapeutic Benefits
- Improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes
- Reduces HbA1c levels, indicating better blood glucose control
- Helps to prevent complications associated with diabetes, such as cardiovascular disease and nephropathy
Active Ingredient Mechanism
Gliclazide, the active ingredient in TEVA-GLICLAZIDE, acts by binding to and closing ATP-sensitive potassium channels in the pancreatic beta cells. This closure of potassium channels depolarizes the cell membrane, leading to an influx of calcium ions and subsequent insulin release.
