Rosinorm M 2 Mg/500 Mg Tablet Health Feed

Asked for Male, 64 years old from Pune

I am a male, 61 years of age, suffering from Type II diabetes and hypertension since the last 17 years. I have been advised to take Human Mixtard insulin in the morning (20 units) and evening (15 units), besides other oral medications - in the morning: 1 Tab. Jalra M 50mg/500mg. For diabetes; 1 Tab Winbp 40H and in the evening: 1 Tab. Glycomet - GP 3/850, 1 Tab. Nebistar 5 mg, 1 Tab Ecosporin AV 75. Since I am on insulin, as it is, what is the rationale/need to have Jalra and Glycomet - since the metformin intake orally, exceeds 1300 mg per day?

Addition of metformin will restrict your insulin dose.You can stop glimipride in glycomet Gp 3/850 instead you can use glycomet 1000mg twice a day.You can stop jalra also because it is effective in early years of disease.

The delayed version releases the drug more slowly and this usually eliminates the gastrointestinal problems.

Ir is immediate release and sr is sustained release formulations. Both work well but usually sr formulations have lesser gastrointestinal side effects.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the products are same. The er refers to extended release, which means the drug is released slowly over 12 hours in the gut. That helps maintain a longer therapeutic level. It is beneficial more so if a person has any side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances if plain metformin is taken. Both are fine. Thanks.

The reason is your tablet. Glyson mf. Another reason may be your irregular meal timings. You can be started with metformin 500 twice daily. Please consult your nearby diabetologist doctor as early as possible and do not indulge in self medication.

Health Query

My father has diabetes from last 11 years and taking glizid-m last year abc was 180 and hba1c -8 but after corona its been 90 days. Diabetes is increased and now hbai1c -9.5 and abc-225. Coroja I consulted with doctor, they advised us azulix mf 1 forte 2 times a day with jalra-m one time a day after meal. Today, I have checked after meals with ajulix 1 mf forte, the sugar was 161. I am afraid of metformin, doctor said its safe to give 2500 per day. Let me know about medicines and sugar control he also suggested to take glucbayl-25 two times post meals.

For metformin extended release, the maximum doasge is 2000 grams a day provided kidney function is ok. You coul change jalra m to jalra. But in the light of hba1c creeping above 9 I would suggest you to start a long acting insulin, preferably lantus.

Please let me know the "mg" of metformin and when to take it like before or after meals. And should I take normoz once or twice.

Dr. Raveendran Sr89%(146 ratings)

Diabetologist•Chennai

It comes in 500 mg and 1000 mg can be taken after food because of its adverse effect to cause gastritis.

Glynase usually works during the first few years & then starts failing. You should consider starting gliptins along with metformin.
