Blood glucose level 270 mg (fasting or after food is not mentioned), is high. It means that present treatment is not really helping in controlling the glucose level properly. He does need some additional drugs. Plus there needs to be a close given to diet and extent of exercise being done daily. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the products are same. The er refers to extended release, which means the drug is released slowly over 12 hours in the gut. That helps maintain a longer therapeutic level. It is beneficial more so if a person has any side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances if plain metformin is taken. Both are fine. Thanks.
