Like all hypoglycemic agents, Diabeton MR 60 mg requires individual dose selection depending on the patient's response to treatment (blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin HbA1c).

Application features

Pregnant

As a preventive measure, it is advisable to avoid taking gliclazide during pregnancy.

Children

It is not recommended to prescribe Diabeton MR 60 mg to children due to the lack of data on the use of the preparation in this category of patients.

Drivers

Diabeton MR 60 mg may have little effect on the ability to drive vehicles or work with other automated systems. Patients should be aware of the symptoms of hypoglycemia, be able to recognize them and, if they occur, be careful while driving or operating machinery, especially at the beginning of treatment.

Overdose

Overdose of sulfonylurea preparations can cause hypoglycemia.

Symptoms of moderate hypoglycemia (without loss of consciousness and without neurological symptoms) should be corrected with carbohydrate (sugar) intake, dose adjustment of the antihyperglycemic preparation, and / or diet. Careful observation of the patient should be continued until the physician is confident that the patient is safe.

Severe hypoglycemia may develop with the development of coma, seizures, or other neurological disorders, which requires urgent medical attention with immediate hospitalization.

When a diagnosis of hypoglycemic coma is established or if a coma is suspected, the patient needs to rapidly intravenously inject 50 ml of concentrated glucose solution (from 20% to 30%), followed by continuous administration of a less concentrated glucose solution (10%) at a frequency that will maintain the glucose level in blood more than 1 g / l. It is necessary to ensure constant monitoring of the patient. Depending on the patient's condition, the doctor decides on further monitoring.

Gliclazide has a high level of binding to plasma proteins, so dialysis is ineffective.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reaction with gliclazide is hypoglycemia.

Interaction

Miconazole (for systemic use, oral gel) enhances the hypoglycemic effect with the possible development of symptoms of hypoglycemia and even the development of coma.

Storage conditions

Does not require special storage conditions. Keep out of the reach of children.

Shelf life. 3 years.
