FAQs

What is the best time to take Gliczee 80mg Tablet?

Take Gliczee 80mg Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. There is evidence stating that Gliczee 80mg Tablet 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 Gliczee 80mg Tablet the same as metformin?

No, Gliczee 80mg Tablet 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 Gliczee 80mg Tablet 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.

Yes, Gliczee 80mg Tablet 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.

Follow the instructions given by your doctor strictly to avoid such complications.
