FAQs
What is the best time to take Glizipol Tablet ER?
Take Glizipol Tablet ER before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. There is evidence stating that Glizipol Tablet ER works best at controlling post meal high blood sugar levels when taken 30 minutes before breakfast. So, if you are supposed to take it once daily, take it in the morning with breakfast with a glass of water.
Is Glizipol Tablet ER the same as metformin?
No, Glizipol Tablet ER is not the same as metformin. Although both these oral medicines are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, the way they work to reduce the sugar levels are different. While Glizipol Tablet ER acts by increasing the secretion of insulin by the pancreas, metformin acts by improving the functioning and effectiveness of the insulin already available in the body.
Can you take metformin and Glizipol Tablet ER at the same time?
Yes, Glizipol Tablet ER and metformin can be taken at the same time but only if prescribed by the doctor. Your doctor may have prescribed taking the two together to control your uncontrolled sugar levels. However, taking the two together may cause low blood sugar which may also occur if you delay or miss a meal, exercise more than usual or take it with insulin. Follow the instructions given by your doctor strictly to avoid such complications.
Is Glizipol Tablet ER bad for kidneys?
No, Glizipol Tablet ER is not harmful if your kidney function is normal. Any previous case of kidney problem should be informed to the doctor, so that the use of Glizipol Tablet ER can be assessed. This is done in order to analyze whether Glizipol Tablet ER can be given or not because it is principally excreted by the kidney. If you have kidney problems you will be started at a lower dose.
