Yes, glycomet is on of the brands of the salt metformin that is used to manage diabetes. Other brands are- glyciphage, cetapin, exermet.

Dear Lybrate use both of them contain the same medication and dose but glyciphage sr is released slowly in the stomach so will contain less gastric side effects. You may consider elcephase 500 sr if it is available as it is same as glycomet 500 sr.

Yes sir you can take this substitute. It will not be an issue. Take same dose whatever you were taking.

Hello, Thanks for the query.

Yes, you can use these two tablets instead of one. That will work as one tablet of glycomet gp1 forte.

Dear Lybrate user, glimepiride stimulates betacells to secrete insulin. Metformin is supposed to reduce insulin resistance and slow down glucose absorption from the intestine. Usually both these are used together to control increased blood glucose. In newly diagnosed patients metformin alone is used. In some both drugs are used together. Which drug to take for a particular level can be decided by the treating doctor.

Hello, metformin 250 mg can be taken either on empty stomach (before food) or after food. There is no hard and fast rule. Some patients complain of gastrointestinal side effects, when taken on empty stomach. So for them it is recommended after food.
