Description
Gliclazide Product Overview
Gliclazide (C15H21N3O3S) is a white to almost white powder that is practically insoluble in water and soluble in dichloromethane. It is described in the European Pharmacopoeia and the British Pharmacopoeia.
Pharmaceutical companies use it to formulate immediate-release and modified-release tablets for type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the sulfonylurea class together with Glimepiride and Glibenclamide, and is often used in treatment regimens alongside Metformin Hydrochloride. Modified-release formulations require tight control of particle size, which can be specified on request.
