• True once-daily modified-release convenience

1. Take one Getzid MR 30mg tablet once daily with breakfast
2. Swallow whole with water – never crush or chew (destroys modified-release action)
3. Take at the same time every morning for consistent effect
4. Do not skip breakfast after taking the tablet
5. Regular HbA1c and kidney function monitoring recommended

Q1: Why choose Getzid MR 30mg over ordinary gliclazide?
A1: Once-daily dosing + smoother action = much lower hypo risk and better compliance.

Q2: Is 30mg strong enough for good control?
A2: Yes – many patients achieve target HbA1c on just 30–60mg MR daily.

Q3: Can I break the tablet if I only need half?
A3: No – it must be swallowed whole to maintain 24-hour release.

Q4: Will I gain weight like with other sulfonylureas?
A4: Usually not – gliclazide MR is weight-neutral in most patients.

Q5: Is it safe for older adults?
A5: Yes – one of the safest sulfonylureas for elderly due to low hypo risk.
