SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg
SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg 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 SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg are an increase in insulin sensitivity and a decrease in hepatic glucose production. The anti-oxidant, platelet inhibiting and fibrinolytic actions of SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg 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
SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg 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.

How SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg works
SB-Glic XR Tablet (Extended Release) 30 mg 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.
