Description: Remicron MR contains Gliclazide, a second-generation sulfonylurea used to manage Type 2 Diabetes. It works by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin more effectively, helping the body process glucose and lower high blood sugar levels. The "MR" (Modified Release) technology is a specialized formulation that releases the medication gradually over a 24-hour period. This ensures a steady level of the drug in the bloodstream, providing consistent glucose control throughout the day and night with a lower risk of sudden drops in blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
In Nigeria, Remicron MR is a primary clinical choice for long-term diabetes management. It is available through authorized health providers like Sanlive Pharmacy, ensuring you receive a genuine, clinically validated medication stored in a stable environment to maintain its chemical potency and therapeutic efficacy.
Important: Remicron MR is a prescription-only medication. It is specifically for Type 2 Diabetes and cannot be used to treat Type 1 Diabetes. To get the best results, it must be used alongside a diabetic-friendly diet and regular physical activity. Monitoring your blood sugar levels at home is essential to ensure the dosage is correct for your body’s needs.
Remicron MR Tablets are primarily used to:
Lower Blood Glucose: Effectively reducing HbA1c and daily blood sugar levels
Stimulate Natural Insulin: Helping the pancreas respond better to meals
24-Hour Coverage: Providing steady sugar control with just a single daily dose
Reduce Diabetes Complications: Long-term use helps protect the kidneys, eyes, and nerves from damage caused by high sugar
Weight Neutrality: Generally associated with less weight gain compared to some other diabetes medications
This product is suitable for:
Adults with Type 2 Diabetes whose blood sugar is not controlled by diet and exercise alone
Patients requiring a convenient once-daily medication for better compliance
Individuals who may have experienced gastrointestinal side effects with Metformin and need an alternative or add-on therapy
Not recommended for: Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes or those in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis. It is contraindicated in patients with severe kidney or liver failure. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult your doctor for alternative insulin therapy during these periods.
Take your dose exactly as prescribed, usually once daily in the morning
Take with Breakfast: It is critical to take Remicron MR with your morning meal to prevent low blood sugar later in the day
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this destroys the modified-release mechanism
If you miss a dose, take it with your next meal if it’s the same day; otherwise, skip it. Never double the dose
Always carry a source of fast-acting sugar (like glucose tabs or a sugary drink) in case you experience signs of hypoglycemia
Most side effects are manageable and related to the body's adjustment to blood sugar changes:
Common: Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)—symptoms include sweating, shakiness, hunger, and confusion
Gastrointestinal: Occasional indigestion, nausea, or constipation
Physical: Mild headache or dizziness
Rare: Temporary visual disturbances when starting treatment due to changing sugar levels
Serious: Seek medical attention for yellowing of the eyes/skin (jaundice) or severe skin rashes

What is the difference between Gliclazide and Gliclazide MR?
Standard Gliclazide is usually taken twice a day and releases into the blood quickly. Gliclazide MR (Modified Release) is taken once a day and releases slowly, which is more convenient and often causes fewer side effects.
Can I drink alcohol while taking this?
Alcohol can make the effects of Remicron MR unpredictable and significantly increases the risk of a dangerous drop in blood sugar. It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol.
What should I do if I feel shaky or sweaty?
These are signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Immediately consume something sugary (juice, honey, or sweets), followed by a long-acting carbohydrate like a piece of bread or a biscuit, and check your blood sugar level.
