Galvus Met 50/500, I am taking before breakfast as prescribed by a physician since one year but One cardiologist suggests to have it after breakfast.

I am taking a tablet of Galvus-Met 50/500 and Metride 1. These are very costly medicines and I am looking for some cheaper combination. Mydiabetese Type II is monitored as follows PP Blood 163.4 Fasting 96.63 Hb1AC 6.03 Pl advise. Will X-met be cheaper and equally effective. ## No, the X-Met only contains the active ingredient Metformin. Learn more Metformin details here. But in the Glavusmet there is Vidagliptin and Metformin and in the Metride there is Glimepiride and Metformin, so the X-Met is not an equivalent medication. Learn more Vidagliptin details here. Learn more Glimepiride details here. Have you tried controlling your diabetes with diet and exercise, so you may eventually not require so many medications?

Diabetic since 2002. Below is the medicine I started using from Jan 2009 to date. My sugar levels are under control even though I'm not following proper diet and exercise. 1. Galvas 50/800 - Afternoon 2. Trivolib 1mg - morning and night 3. Polytrova Kit 2.5mg - night Recently I experienced skin itching and neglected it because of the winter season. But after going through the side effects of the medicine I found that this is a one of the side effects. Now I also had the following symptoms: 1. knee pain 2. itching 3. Gas 4. B12 deficiancy along with Vitamin D and Iron. I am supposed to meet my Doctor for advice. However please let us know your suggestion as well. I would like to mention that I stopped taking medicine for a week and found results are normal.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient of 8 years. Since last 2 years I have been consuming galvus met 50 850 twice daily - before breakfast & before dinner. ## Hello, Saibal! How are you doing? In cases where someone asks a question like this, it's very important to let you know that while there is always some risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, your risks would be far, far greater if you didn't take the medication and let your blood sugar soar out of control. That burns up your organs, which can lead to blindness, kidney failure, liver failure, nerve damage and loss of appendages. Thus, you should continue with the medication as long as your doctor instructs you that it is needed. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## what drugs is more effective for...
