Consucon 60 MR mg Tablet ~ 1 Strip

Product Overview

Consucon 60 MR is uniquely engineered for individuals managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It works via a dual mechanism of action:

·       Insulin Stimulation: It triggers the release of insulin directly from the pancreatic beta cells by facilitating smooth calcium ion transport across cell membranes.

·       Hepatic Regulation: It works downstream to lower excess glucose output from the liver.

The special Modified Release technology ensures the drug is absorbed gradually by the body, offering highly effective, sustained blood sugar management with a reduced risk of sudden hypoglycemic drops compared to older sulfonylureas.

Key Indications

·       Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Management: Indicated for maturity-onset diabetes in adults when specialized dietary changes, consistent exercise, and weight loss alone are no longer enough to regulate HbA1c levels.

·       Prevention of Long-Term Complications: Consistently controlling blood sugar with Consucon 60 MR safeguards the body against severe diabetic complications such as progressive kidney damage, nerve problems, and blindness.

Key Benefits

·       Sustained 24-Hour Glycemic Control: The advanced modified-release mechanism slowly dispenses the active compound, mirroring the body's natural needs.

·       Favorable Renal Profile: Gliclazide is extensively metabolized by the body, allowing it to be utilized safely by patients with mild-to-moderate renal insufficiency without steep medication spikes.

·       Protective Hemobiological Properties: Offers potentially useful hematological advantages, helping to minimize microthrombosis (micro-clots) by partially reducing harmful platelet aggregation.

Dosage & Administration

·       Standard Adult Dose: Typically 1 to 2 tablets (up to a maximum of 120 mg) taken once daily. Your doctor will adjust your specific dosage depending on your regular blood and urine sugar responses.

·       Timing: It is highly recommended to take the tablet at breakfast time. Taking it immediately before breakfast minimizes digestive disorders and aligns perfectly with morning glucose changes.

·       How to Take: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it, as doing so destroys the modified-release matrix. Always ensure you eat a proper meal immediately after taking this medicine.
