Product Details

Diamicron (Gliclazide) is an oral hypoglycemic used for the control of blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes. It is used when diet, exercise, and weight reduction have not been found to control blood glucose well enough without medication. Diamicron increases the amount of insulin released by the pancreas by targeting and stimulating insulin secretion from the beta cells in the pancreas, which in turn helps the body produce and use insulin more efficiently.

Diamicron Side Effects

Stop using the medication and get medical care if you have an allergic reaction. Signs of an allergic reaction may include difficulty breathing, hives (rash on your body), swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat—If you experience any of these symptoms, please call 911 or seek emergency medical care at the nearest emergency room (ER). Common side effects of Diamicron include abdominal, back, muscle, or joint pain, constipation or diarrhea, dizziness or headache, heartburn, nausea, or vomiting. Contact your doctor if you notice more serious side effects such as symptoms of low blood sugar (anxiousness, blurred vision, cold sweats, drowsiness, fast heart rate, feelings of inebriation), signs of liver problems (nausea, vomiting, upper stomach pain, loss of appetite, jaundice, dark urine), unexpected weight gain, or skin rashes or hives.

The above information is a summary and may not contain all the side effect information. If you still have questions about side effects, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist so they can address all your concerns.

Warnings and Interactions

Do not use Diamicron if you are allergic gliclazide, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a serious infection, have severely reduced kidney or liver function, have type 1 diabetes, or have lactic acidosis or ketoacidosis. Avoid drinking alcohol while using Diamicron as it may cause unpleasant side effects. Tell your doctor if you have anemia, kidney or liver problems, or if you are allergic to other sulfonylurea or sulfonamide medications. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all the medications you are taking, including prescription medications, over-the-counter products, herbal supplements, and vitamins.

Questions and Answers

1. What is the best time to take Diamicron?
Answer: Take Diamicron before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. Diamicron works best at controlling post meal high blood sugar when taken 30 minutes before breakfast. If you are supposed to take it once daily, take it in the morning before breakfast with a glass of water.

2. Is Diamicron the same as metformin?
Answer: No, Diamicron is not the same as metformin. They are both used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but the way they work to reduce the sugar levels are different. While Diamicron acts by increasing the secretion of insulin by the pancreas, metformin acts by improving the function and effectiveness of the insulin already available in the body.

The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
