Hello, thanks for the query.
There is no difference in terms of drug action with either of these tablets. It is just the different name given by each company. Thanks.

I think try cutting down on rice totally and walking or exercising. If still bsl this range thn add glycomet 500 lunch time if your total metformin dose not exceeded 2000 mg /day. Target FBS 70-120 and ppbs 120-140.

melmet is for sugar control and resistant pcos and should be taken only if indicated
taking it alone won't help always

Betacap TR is given for hand tremors (vibration) not for BP. So let her continue it. Check BP regularly ,as you said it can decrease BP aswell.

You continue with the gluconorm (metformin). Monitor your vitals, temperature, bp, oxygen saturation. In case your oxygen saturation drops below 92 or any shortness of breath. Report to your nearest health facility.
