You can take amaryl mc 2 instead of azulix mf 2/0.2 and both the tablets are same with different brand names. There is a mild increase only 0.1 mg of voglibose in azulix mf 2/0.2.

Another aspect you are taking 30 mg of Pioglitazone, which is the maximum dose recommended. It is better if that is reduced to 15 mg a day. Please let me know the glucose levels and HbA1c% Then only I can comment. Plus I need to know the diet pattern and extent of exercise,...more

Mr. lybrate-user,
The tablet mentioned may be useful as a supportive or additional therapy. But on its own it will not help in controlling blood glucose level. For that you need either modern anti-diabetic drugs or Insulin injections. Unfortunately a lot of unsubstantiated claims are made. Thanks.
