Dimerol MR Tablet 30 mg is a modified-release oral antidiabetic medication containing Gliclazide, designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The “MR” (modified release) formulation allows gradual release of the active ingredient over an extended period, providing stable blood glucose control with once-daily dosing. It is particularly suitable for patients who require sustained glycemic control throughout the day while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia.

Gliclazide belongs to the sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic drugs. It works by stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells in response to elevated blood glucose levels. Additionally, Gliclazide may improve peripheral insulin sensitivity and reduce hepatic glucose production. The result is better control of both fasting and postprandial (after meal) blood sugar levels.

Dimerol MR Tablet 30 mg is often used as monotherapy or in combination with other oral antidiabetic agents, such as metformin, depending on the patient’s glycemic status and medical guidance.
