It's OK. Both are of different OHA with different actions. Glycomet is Metformin which is biguinides n reduces hepatic glucose production while Tenepride is Tenligliptin belongs to a group of medicines called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas, which helps lower the blood glucose levels in the body.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Both are containing same medication Metformin. One is a sustained release form, acting for a longer time. It is supposed to be better tolerated. That is all the difference. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Your observation is without any specific data. So nothing can be said about it. I have been treating a number of patients taking the mentioned drug or other metformins without any complaints. So difficult to say anything. Thanks.

I have been taking glitaris m7. 5/500 one tablet after dinner for sugar control for more than 10 years. This has been banned again in india. My endocrinologist is of the opinion that I should not stop pioglitazone (the reason, it facilitates utilization of insulin in body cells). Secondly, I am taking it in low intensity (7.5 mg). My questions are the following. 1. Does it have harmful effect? 2. Is the side effect related to quantity of pioglitazone one is taking? Meaning, is to safe to take it in low amount as in my case? 3. Though this tablet is banned, glitaris 7.5 mg is available in market (exclusive pioglitazone). Can I take this with one additional tablet glycomet 500 (metformin)? If yes, 4. If combination tablet glitaris m7. 5/500 is unsafe (because it is banned) then how the same in separate form, glitaris 7.5 + glycomet 500, can be safe?

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
As told by your endocrinologist pioglitazone does help insulin action by reducing resistance to its action.

However, using those separately is absolutely fine. Plus if you have been getting good glucose control with those drugs, then please do use separately. At the d...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Recent studies have shown that Metformin usage is highly beneficial in controlling endometrial hyperplasia. That is the reason it has been prescribed to you. Please continue using it, along with other medications. Thanks.

Dosage. Metformin plain should be taken thrice daily with food however it varies according to the patient need but SR is prescribed once for a day since it has long duration of action. Kindly consult a Diabetologist in person since your body needs varies.
