Glycomet 500 MG Tablet SR Health Feed

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

Metformin has side effects also. I will recommend you to take ir avitrol which also combats the issue of overweight also.

Mr. Lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Tablet obimet contains metformin. Whereas vildagliptin is a different compound. These drugs are usaully combined together. But whether to to one or both depends on the glucose levels, hba1c%, I can not answer without all the necessary details. Thanks.

drug dose(quantity)depends upon your blood sugar levels....if you can't take drug twice go for obimet sr tablet(sustained release).

Yes there are alternatives available but before that get your hba1c tested and chart your blood sugar.

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

Could be side effects of the medications. For now you can take a 'l-lysine' containing syrup for boosting appetite, take a 'proton pump inhibitor' (for gas, acidity, bloating) in the morning, and do a liver function test (blood test for lft). Most importantly, talk to the doctor who treats your diabetes about this symptom.

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.

The medicine is metformin. Its very safe and is the drug of first choice in patients with diabetes. The only care you should take is with vitamin B12 (this an go down with metformin). You can get your level checked along with other parameters of diabetes control and consult in private. I will be able to clarify further.
Its absolutely kidney safe. But if you have kidney problem due to other reasons or diabetes you must take it with caution or stop it. The medicine itself will cause no kidney...more

You have to monitor your blood sugar every three month and consult doctor If the blood sugar level is high. Go for regular exercise,reduce your weight,control your diet. Consult doctor for dis continuation of medicine
