My doctor originally prescribed Diamicron (60m) for my Type II diabetes but, more recently, my specialist prescribed Glucephage. What are the differences please? ## Diamicron contains the active ingredient Gliclazide, so it was a different medication than the Metformin in the Glucophage. If you didn't have good control of your blood sugar levels, your specialist might have wanted to switch you to this, because many people get very good results from it. However, it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. More details: Are there any other questions?

## Was perscribed this drug in Nassau, Bahamas but cannot find it in USA. It is a diabetes medication. ## Yes, it contains Gliclazide and is used to treat diabetes, but helping to lower and control blood sugar. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, headache, increased urination, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Have you consulted your GP? It is available here, as well as other equivalent medications. ## Is there a cheaper medicine than Diamicron for diabetes? My husband is taking Diamicron 2x a day and it's expensive for us. ## What does 30/7 means in Doctor's prescription??? A friend of mine is placed on DIAMICRON 30MG I daily, 30/7.
