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?

I was on Amaryl 2, Metformin 500. As there was no relief I was given Janumet and afterwards Januvia 100. After use of 1 yr + I was given one Ty..... (said to be a product of Japanese research and less costly - but there was no relief), Hb1c is now 8.5. So again back to Januvia 50 x 2. But apparently there is no palpable result. I do also take Rosuvastatin 20, Clopidogrel 75, Aspirin 150, Sertaline 100, Gabapin NT, Neurofit 12, Ifin,... I have acute lower backaches and my waist often gets locked. And severe breathing trouble (for which I use a Foracort inhaler).

Is the medication of 2 mg Amaryl pre brk fast, 1 Janumet 50/500 and 1 post dinner sufficient for sugar levels of fasting 165 and pp 295. Kindly advise ## You should take the medications your doctor has instructed you to take. Have you started them, yet? If so, what have you blood sugar levels been, after taking them? The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, and stomach pain.

Has anyone taking fetzima had anxiety when adding amaryl 2 mg. ## Hello, Missy! How are you? The anxiety could be caused by the blood sugar change that Amaryl can cause. It is an oral antidiabetic medication and that can be one of the symptoms of low blood sugar. Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, flatulence and stomach pain. Fetzima may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, vision changes, loss of libido and increased sweating. Have you consulted your doctor about the issue?

I am diabetic patient for 3 years. Beforehand I was taking Amaryl 1 just before lunch. My sugar level became Fasting 110, PP 170. Then Now i started Zoryl M1. Would you please guide me the time of taking this medicine. Is this the correct medicine? If i take it before breakfast my pp sugar level becomes normal otherwise it goes up to 160-170.

I take amryl 2mg before breakfast and glycomet SR 500 after breakfast and before dinner also. Is it right way of taking? ## Amaryl contains the active ingredient Glimepiride and Glycomet contains the active ingredient Metformin, both are oral antidiabetic medications used to help control blood sugar. And yes, they are usually taken at mealtime, unless your doctor has instructed you otherwise, since that is when most blood sugar spikes occur. Is using them this way keeping your sugar under control? ## I am 68 male. So far I was taking Glimet DS 500 after meal. My fasting sugar was 114. PP was 145. My friend suggested Glycomet 500 instead of Glimet DS 500. After 10 days my fasting sugar has gone up to 150 and PP is 197. Why this and how to solve?

Dear Dr. My father 65/m k/o IHD dilated ischaemic cardiomyopathy CCF DM II. takin Carvedilol (3.125 twice daily) Cardace 1.25 bed time, clavix AS150, Amaryl 1mg, Flavedon MR twice daily, Dytor 40mg 1/2 tab twicedaily. 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 ...

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?
