1. Take one Getzid MR 60mg tablet once daily with breakfast
2. Swallow whole with water – never crush, chew, or break (destroys modified-release action)

4. Always have breakfast after dosing
5. Regular HbA1c, kidney function, and blood glucose monitoring advised

Q1: When is 60mg MR prescribed instead of 30mg?
A1: When 30mg no longer achieves target HbA1c but low-hypo safety is still priority.

Q2: Is hypoglycemia risk higher than with 30mg?
A2: Only slightly – gliclazide MR remains one of the safest sulfonylureas even at 60mg.

Q3: Can the tablet be cut in half?
A3: No – it must be swallowed whole to preserve the 24-hour release profile.

Q4: Will I gain weight on Getzid MR 60mg?
A4: Usually not – most patients stay weight-neutral.

Q5: Is it safe for elderly patients?
A5: Yes – widely used in older adults because of its excellent hypo safety margin.
