Quality Checked ProductsIntroduction About GLICLAVAC MV 0.3 TABLET
GLICLAVAC MV 0.3 TABLET is used to manage type II diabetes in patients whose blood sugar level is not controlled by diet alone. It is a combination of Gliclazide, Metformin, and Voglibose, which belongs to a group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. Gliclazide acts by stimulating the secretion of insulin (a hormone that signals throughout the body to absorb glucose and regulate the blood sugar level) through beta-cell sulphonyl urea receptors. Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver (gluconeogenesis) and increasing insulin sensitivity to absorb glucose. Voglibose inhibits the alpha-glucosidase in the intestine and manages the absorption of glucose from food, thereby reducing the blood sugar level.
Take GLICLAVAC MV 0.3 TABLET as directed by your physician. Take this medicine with a glass of water before meals.
Your doctor may advise you to take a blood and urine sugar level test before or along with the management. Do not take GLICLAVAC MV 0.3 TABLET if you have severe liver, kidney, and heart problems. GLICLAVAC MV 0.3 TABLET is not recommended for use in pregnant and breast-feeding women. Consult your doctor before taking it.

How To Manage Side Effects
Diarrhea
Drink plenty of clear fluids, like water, diluted fruit juices, or oral rehydration solutions, to stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and very sugary drinks, as they can worsen dehydration. Eat bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. These are easy to digest and can help firm up the stools. Probiotics, found in yogurt or supplements, may help restore the balance of gut bacteria. Practice good hand hygiene to prevent the spread of infection. Consult your doctor if diarrhea worsens.
Headache
Ensure adequate fluid intake, as dehydration can cause headaches. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, aiming for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Eat balanced meals at regular intervals to avoid blood sugar fluctuations that can trigger headaches. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress levels. Engage in regular physical exercise, which can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. Apply a cold pack or warm compress to the forehead or neck to alleviate pain. Consult your doctor if a headache persists.
Nausea And Vomiting
Eating small amounts more frequently can help prevent the stomach from becoming too full and reduce nausea. Opt for bland, easy-to-digest foods like crackers, toast, rice, bananas, and applesauce. Avoid strong smells and spicy foods, as they can trigger or worsen nausea. Sip on clear liquids like water, broth, or herbal teas. Electrolyte solutions can be beneficial if nausea is accompanied by vomiting.
Skin rash Or Itching
Keep the affected area clean and dry and avoid scratching to prevent further irritation or infection. Apply calamine lotion to help reduce itching and inflammation. Applying cool compresses and wearing loose, breathable clothing can also provide relief. If the rash persists, consult your doctor.
