Gliclazide is an oral hypoglycemic (anti-diabetic drug) and is classified as a sulfonylurea. It is marketed as Diamicron and Dianorm in India. The modified-release formulation of Diamicron is marketed as Remicron MR, Diabeton MR, Diamicron 30mg, Diamicron LM 30mg, Diamicron MR 30 mg, Diamicron Uno 30mg, Dianormax MR, Diaprel MR and Uni Diamicron.

Its classification has been ambiguous as literature uses it as both a first-generation [1] and second-generation[2] sulfonylurea.

Contents

Form and Composition

Each tablet contains 80 mg of gliclazide.

Not marketed in the United States and Philippines. In the Philippines, it is marketed under the brandname of Glubitor-OD 30mg or 80mg.

Indication

Control of hyperglycemia in gliclazide responsive diabetes mellitus of stable, mild, non-ketosis prone, maturity onset or adult type which cannot be controlled by proper dietary management and exercise, or when insulin therapy is not appropriate.

Dosage

40 to 320 mg depending on response, once or twice daily before food, no more than 160 mg at a time. for diabetes pateint

Properties

Hypoglycemic sulfonylurea, restoring first peak of insulin secretion, increasing insulin sensitivity. Glycemia-independent hemovascular effects, antioxidant effect. No active circulating metabolites.

Contraindications

type 1 diabetes, hypersensitivity to sulfonylureas, severe renal or hepatic failure, pregnancy and lactation, miconazole coprescription.

Metabolism

Gliclazide undergoes extensive metabolism to several inactive metabolites in humans, mainly methylhydroxygliclazide and carboxygliclazide. CYP2C9 is involved in the formation of hydroxygliclazde in human liver microsomes and in a panel of recombinant human P450sin vitro[3][4]. But the pharmacokinetics of gliclazide MR are affected mainly by CYP2C19 genetic polymorphism instead of CYP2C9 genetic polymorphism.[5][6]

Interactions

Hyperglycemic action may be caused by danazol, chlorpromazine, glucocorticoids, progestogens, β-2 agonists. Its hypoglycemic action may be potentiated by phenylbutazone, alcohol, fluconazole, β-blockers, possibly ACE inhibitors. Park et al.have found that rifampin increases gliclazide metabolism in humans in vivo.[7]

Adverse effects

Hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal disturbance (reported), skin reactions (rare), hematological disorders (rare), hepatic enzyme rises (exceptional).

Overdosage

Possible severe hypoglycemia requiring urgent IV glucose and monitoring.
