Indications
Sucleer is used to help lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, especially when diet, exercise, and weight loss alone do not control blood sugar effectively.
Pharmacology
Sucleer is a type of medication that helps release insulin from the pancreas. Sucleer also helps the body use insulin better and reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver.
Dosage & Administration
Adults: The usual starting dose is 40 to 80 mg per day. This can be increased up to 320 mg per day in divided doses if needed. Sucleer should be taken before meals.
Children: Sucleer is not used in children because Sucleer is not recommended for juvenile diabetes.
Modified release preparation: Always take as directed by your doctor. The dose depends on your blood sugar levels and may change if your diet, exercise, or weight changes. The typical dose is one to four tablets (maximum 120 mg) taken with breakfast. Do not chew or crush the tablets, and always eat after taking the tablet.
If you take more than prescribed, contact your doctor immediately. Symptoms of an overdose may include low blood sugar, which can be treated by consuming sugar or sugary drinks.
If you miss a dose, take Sucleer at the regular time. Do not take two doses at once.
If you stop taking Sucleer, discuss with your doctor first, as stopping can cause high blood sugar.
Interaction
Taking Sucleer with certain other medicines, such as antibiotics, blood pressure medications, and antifungal treatments, may increase the risk of low blood sugar. On the other hand, other medicines like corticosteroids or some antidepressants may reduce its effectiveness. Always inform your doctor of any other medicines you are taking.
Contraindications
Sucleer is not for use in people who are allergic to Sucleer or other similar medicines, or in those with type 1 diabetes, serious liver or kidney disease, or certain infections.
Side Effects
Common side effects include low blood sugar, which can cause symptoms like sweating, hunger, and dizziness. Severe low blood sugar can lead to confusion, unconsciousness, or even coma. Sucleer may also cause skin rashes, liver issues, or digestive problems like nausea. If any of these occur, seek medical help immediately.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Sucleer is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor before using Sucleer if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Precautions & Warnings
Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Low blood sugar is more likely at the start of treatment. If you miss meals, increase exercise, or drink alcohol, the risk of low blood sugar increases. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is important.
Overdose Effects
Symptoms of an overdose may include severe low blood sugar, which requires immediate treatment.
Therapeutic Class
Sucleer belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs used to manage diabetes.
Storage Conditions
