Gylis 40 MG Tablet 10 contains gliclazide (40 mg), which acts in your body as follows:

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: Gliclazide acts on specific cells in your pancreas (beta cells) to promote insulin production. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body regulate blood sugar levels.

• Blocks ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels: Gliclazide binds to these channels on the surface of your pancreatic beta cells, leading to cell membrane depolarisation and an influx of calcium. This, in turn, triggers the release of more insulin.

• Increases Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity: In addition to its action on the pancreas, gliclazide enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in peripheral tissues. This means it helps your body's cells better respond to insulin and absorb more glucose from your bloodstream.

• Store your Gylis 40 MG Tablet 10 in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture.

• Keep the medicine at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Make sure the tablet is out of reach of children to avoid accidental consumption.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack and use it before that date for optimal effectiveness.

• Maintain a balanced diet low in sugar and high in fibre to support your blood sugar management. Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins are all good choices.

• Regular physical exercise contributes to improved blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity like brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, at least five days a week. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
