Lozide MR Tablet 30 mg contains Gliclazide in a modified-release (MR) formulation, specifically designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The modified-release mechanism ensures gradual and sustained delivery of Gliclazide, maintaining stable blood glucose levels throughout the day. This helps prevent both fasting and postprandial hyperglycemia while reducing the risk of hypoglycemic episodes.
