SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT Zycron MR 30 mg modified-release tablets 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One tablet contains 30 mg gliclazide. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Modified-release tablet. White to off-white capsule shaped, biconvex tablet with the punch dimension (size) of 9.8 mm x 4.3 mm debossed with “30” on one side, and plain on the other side. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Non insulin-dependent diabetes (type 2) in adults when dietary measures, physical exercise and weight loss alone are not sufficient to control blood glucose. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION POSOLOGY The daily dose may vary from 1 to 4 tablets per day, i.e. from 30 to 120 mg taken orally in a single intake at breakfast time. If a dose is forgotten, there must be no increase in the dose taken the next day. As with any hypoglycaemic agent, the dose should be adjusted according to the individual patient’s metabolic response (blood glucose, HbA1c). Initial dose The recommended starting dose is 30 mg daily. If blood glucose is effectively controlled, this dose may be used for maintenance treatment. If blood glucose is not adequately controlled, the dose may be increased to 60, 90 or 120 mg daily, in successive steps. The interval between each dose increment should be at least 1 month except in patients whose blood glucose has not reduced after two weeks of treatment. In such cases, the dose may be increased at the end of the second week of treatment. The maximum recommended daily dose is 120 mg. Switching from Gliclazide 80 mg tablets to Gliclazide 30 mg modified release tablets 1 tablet of Gliclazide 80mg is comparable to 1 tablet of Gliclazide 30 mg modified release tablets. Consequently the switch can be performed with careful blood monitoring.
