Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm stimulates the release of insulin from pancreatic beta-cells by facilitating Ca++ transport across the beta-cell membranes. It lowers blood glucose by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. Extrapancreatic effects also may play a part in the mechanism of action of oral sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs. Two extrapancreatic effects shown to be important in the action of Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm are an increase in insulin sensitivity and a decrease in hepatic glucose production. The anti-oxidant, platelet inhibiting and fibrinolytic actions of Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm involve processes which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular complications of type 2 diabetes.
Based on the pharmacological properties, gliclazide is a second generation sulphonylurea which acts as a hypoglycemic agent. It stimulates β cells of the islet of Langerhans in the pancreas to release insulin. It also enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity. Overall, it potentiates insulin release and improves insulin dynamics.

Uses
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm is used for control of blood glucose in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (Type-II, maturity onset diabetes mellitus) whose hyperglycemia cannot be controlled by diet alone.
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
How Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm works
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm binds to the β cell sulfonyl urea receptor (SUR1). This binding subsequently blocks the ATP sensitive potassium channels. The binding results in closure of the channels and leads to a resulting decrease in potassium efflux leads to depolarization of the β cells. This opens voltage-dependent calcium channels in the β cell resulting in calmodulin activation, which in turn leads to exocytosis of insulin containing secretorty granules.
Dosage
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm dosage
Adult: The usual initial dose of Gelieqite - DongYu Pharmis 40 to 80 mg daily, gradually increased, if necessary up to 320 mg daily until adequate control is achieved. A single dose should not exceed 160 mg. When higher doses are required it should be taken twice daily, according to the main meals of the day.

Toxicity
LD50=3000 mg/kg (orally in mice). Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm and its metabolites may accumulate in those with severe hepatic and/or renal dysfunction. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include: dizziness, lack of energy, drowsiness, headache and sweating.
Precaution
Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm should be used carefully in patients with hepatic impairment. If there is definite hepatic disease then gliclazide should not be used.

Interaction
The hypoglycemic effect of Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm may be potentiated by NSAID (in particular aspirin), phenylbutazone, sulfonamides, coumarin derivatives, MAOIs, beta-adrenergic blockers, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, clofibrate, cimetidine and miconazole tablets. Ingestion of alcohol may also increase the hypoglycemic effect of Gelieqite - DongYu Pharm. Some drugs may on the contrary, reduce its activity e.g. barbiturates, corticosteroides, thiazide diuretics, thyroid hormones, laxatives and oral contraceptives.
Food Interaction
- Avoid alcohol.
- Take with or without food. Consistent food intake reduces the risk of hypoglycemia.
Elimination Route
