Frequently asked questions
What is the best time to take Diabic 80mg Tablet?
Take Diabic 80mg Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your healthcare provider. There is evidence suggesting that it works best in controlling post-meal high blood sugar levels when taken 30 minutes before breakfast, therefore, if you are supposed to take it once daily, take it in the morning with breakfast with a glass of water.
Is Diabic 80mg Tablet the same as metformin?
No, Diabic 80mg Tablet is not the same as metformin. While both these oral medications are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, they work differently to reduce blood sugar levels. Diabic 80mg Tablet acts by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas, while metformin improves the body's response and effectiveness to existing insulin.
Can you take metformin and Diabic 80mg Tablet at the same time?
Yes, Diabic 80mg Tablet and metformin can be taken together but only if prescribed by your healthcare provider. Your doctor may prescribe taking the two medications simultaneously to control uncontrolled blood sugar levels. However, take caution as mixing these medications might lead to low blood sugar which may also occur if you miss a meal or exercise excessively or when taking it with insulin. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions strictly to avoid any complications.
Is Diabic 80mg Tablet bad for kidneys?
No, Diabic 80mg Tablet is not harmful if you have normal kidney function. If you have a history of kidney problems, please inform your healthcare provider so that the use of this medication can be evaluated to determine whether it's safe for you as it is primarily excreted by the kidneys. In case of impaired kidney function, you may start with a lower dose.
