Description
Scicon MR 60mg – Gliclazide Modified-Release Tablets for Type 2 Diabetes
This medicine requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
Scicon MR 60mg is a prescription modified-release (MR) tablet containing Gliclazide 60mg, manufactured by Scilife. Gliclazide belongs to the sulfonylurea class of oral antidiabetic medicines. It lowers blood glucose by stimulating the pancreas to secrete more insulin, and is used in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled through diet and lifestyle changes alone.
The 60mg modified-release strength offers a higher therapeutic dose compared to Scicon MR 30mg, indicated when escalation of gliclazide therapy is required under physician guidance. The modified-release formulation provides gradual, controlled drug delivery throughout the day, supporting stable glycaemic control with a reduced risk of hypoglycaemia.
Scicon MR 60mg must be taken exactly as prescribed. Regular monitoring of blood glucose, adherence to a prescribed diet, and maintained physical activity are essential components of effective type 2 diabetes management.

FAQs
What is Scicon MR 60mg used for?
Scicon MR 60mg contains Gliclazide 60mg and is prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus management in adults when lower-dose or other antidiabetic therapy needs optimisation. It requires a valid prescription.
What is the difference between Scicon MR 30mg and Scicon MR 60mg?
Both contain gliclazide in a modified-release formulation. The 60mg strength provides a higher dose for patients whose blood sugar requires additional control — as determined and prescribed by a physician.
Why must I swallow the tablet whole?
Scicon MR is a modified-release formulation. Crushing or chewing releases all the gliclazide at once, bypassing the controlled delivery system and significantly increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia.
