Reclide-XR 60 Tablet is a medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. As a member of the sulfonylurea class, it helps regulate blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of serious diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage and blindness. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other diabetes medications and should be taken with food at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your condition and may adjust it over time.
Even if you feel well or your blood sugar levels are controlled, it is important to continue taking this medication as prescribed. Stopping it without medical advice could lead to elevated blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of complications such as nerve damage, vision problems, and limb loss. Effective diabetes management also requires a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight control as recommended by your doctor.
Common side effects include indigestion, stomach discomfort, and low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Symptoms of hypoglycemia include sweating, dizziness, headache, and shaking. To prevent this, maintain regular meals and carry a fast-acting source of glucose, such as sugary food or fruit juice. Avoid alcohol consumption, as it may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Some individuals may also experience weight gain while using this medication.
Reclide-XR 60 Tablet is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe kidney or liver disease. Inform your doctor of any history of heart disease, thyroid disorders, or hormonal imbalances before starting this medication. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, as well as periodic blood tests to assess liver function and blood cell counts, may be required during treatment.
