✅ Product Benefits

1. Steady 24‑hour glucose control — Modified-release formulation ensures smooth insulin release and reduces glycemic peaks. Starting dose 30 mg once daily (max 120 mg). 

2. Convenient once-daily dosing — Taken with or shortly before breakfast to minimize hypoglycemia risk and promote adherence. 

3. Dual mechanism action — Stimulates pancreatic β‑cells to release insulin and reduces hepatic glucose output, enhancing peripheral insulin sensitivity. 

4. Lower risk of hypoglycemia than immediate-release sulfonylureas — Controlled release reduces abrupt insulin spikes. 

5. Flexible titration options — Dose titration from 30 mg up to 120 mg once daily; further increases allowed to 320 mg/day in divided doses under supervision. 

6. Affordable and widely available — Priced around ৳0.80–৳8.00 per tablet (strip of 10 at ৳80); easily accessible in Bangladesh. 

7. Well-documented safety profile — Common side effects include hypoglycemia (especially if meals skipped), gastrointestinal upset, rash; rare risks include blood dyscrasias and liver effects. Contraindicated in type 1 diabetes, ketoacidosis, severe hepatic or renal impairment; avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
