Please what is the main difference between these two drugs ## They both contain different active ingredients. The Gliclaz-M contains Gliclazide and Metformin. You can learn more Gliclazide details here and there are more Metformin details here. And Amaryl contains the active ingredient Glimepiride. Learn more Glimepiride details here. All are oral antidiabetic medications that are used to help lower and control blood sugar, but one medication may work better for someone than a different one. Which one has your doctor advised you to take?

turguoise oval tablet 3 22 one side, RDY on other side is different than the lt. blue round pills with 9 3 and 72 56 on them from different pharmacy. oval pills causing lethargy, both were supposed to be generic for amaryl. could 4mg dosage be wrong? ## No, the 4mg dose is not incorrect. Both are 4mg Glimepiride. Not all generics always release the medication exactly the same. Perhaps your system just cant handle the one form. I would talk to the pharmacist or go to a pharmacy that carries the generic that works best with your system.

Increased exercise helps your body work more efficiently and will help to lower both. Salty foods in your diet cause you to retain fluid, which elevates your blood pressure. Anything sweet, such as fruits and pastries will cause ...

Details of test are fasting sugar 145 after breakfast 175 before lunch 148 after lunch 167 before dinner 177 after dinner 220 at 3am 214.Doctor prescribed semi amaryl before food,ziten 20/500 ,carbophage 2and tazloc 20 1.Whether this will OK or cause side effect. Please clarify ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, that is just the nature of how it works, when you add a chemical to the body to try to rectify a problem. However, if you do not take the prescribed medications, high blood sugar can be deadly, so there is far less risk to dealing with the possible side effects. The U.S. FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, flatulence, and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Pease suggest if there would be any side effects of the above. He feels weak & his bp remains 100/80 to 90/70. ## I am not a doctor, but I can provide you with some information. The reason he is feeling weak could be due to his blood pressure being so low, when it's hitting 90/70 this can be too low for some people and can cause symptoms such as feeling weak, dizzy and tired. While most doctors will tell you the lower your blood pressure the better, this is not completely accurate. There are points where it can be too low and will cause those kinds of symptoms. In ...
