The Reclide XR 60 tablet is a prescription medication used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. The “XR” stands for extended-release, meaning the active ingredient, gliclazide (60mg), is released slowly into the body to provide consistent blood sugar control throughout the day. 
Key Uses and Benefits
  • Blood Sugar Control: It works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin and helps the body use insulin more effectively, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
  • Diabetes Management: Used in conjunction with diet, regular exercise, and weight management when lifestyle changes alone are insufficient to manage blood sugar.
  • Complication Prevention: Maintaining controlled blood sugar levels helps prevent serious long-term complications of diabetes, such as kidney damage (nephropathy), vision loss (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), and cardiovascular problems like heart attack and stroke. 
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are usually mild and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. 
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level): This is the most common and potentially serious side effect. Symptoms include sweating, dizziness, headache, shaking, and confusion. It is vital to carry a fast-acting source of sugar (like fruit juice or glucose tablets) to manage these symptoms.
  • Other common side effects include diarrheanauseaindigestionstomach painflatulence (gas), and dizziness. 
Important Precautions
  • Prescription Only: Reclide XR 60 is a prescription drug and must be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting a healthcare professional.
  • Administration: The tablet should be swallowed whole with water. It must not be chewed, crushed, or broken, as this would disrupt the extended-release mechanism.
  • Alcohol: Alcohol consumption is unsafe with this medication as it can unpredictably affect blood glucose levels and increase the risk of severe hypoglycemia.
  • Contraindicated Conditions: It is not suitable for individuals with Type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, severe liver or kidney disease, or a known allergy to gliclazide or other sulfonylurea medicines.
  • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: It should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your doctor for safe alternatives.
