Hello, Thanks for the query.
Recently some combinations containing multiple drugs are banned. In that case you may have to consult your doctor and aske for substitute prescription. Because that tablet has Glimiperide, Met formin and Pioglitazone. So do consult your doctor. Thanks.

It is not a good substitute as piz mf contains two medicines-pioglitazone 7.5 mg and metformin 500 mg while Glycomet contains only one-metformin 500 mg in sustained release form.

Pioglitazone in a dose of 7. 5 mg is safe and yes it can be changed to other drugs as well. Kindly consult privately for proper personalised management.

Hi
Your HbA1C is good but if there is any recurrent episodes of low blood sugars and tiredness, I would recommend you to reduce the medicine dose and mainatin a HbA1C of 6.5% - 7.0%. Your change of medicine and dose can be decided after a chat regarding your diet and exercise routine, daily monitoring of blood sugars as prescriptions cannot be given here.

Yes she can take it. Diabetes and its medications doesn't prevent her from getting the jab.

Metformin is a safe drug to be used in diabetes because chances of hypoglycemia are very less with it.
Pioz (Pioglitazone) is another drug used to control blood sugar with different mechanism.
Usually second drug is added when blood sugar is not controlled with diet restrictions, regular exercise and single medicine.

JARDIANCE can be taken along with many common type 2 diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulfonylurea, pioglitazone, and insulin. But, if you take JARDIANCE with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is higher.
