Frequently asked questions
What is the best time to take Glized 80mg Tablet?
Take Glized 80mg Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. For optimal results in controlling postprandial glucose levels, consider taking it 30 minutes before breakfast.
Is Glized 80mg Tablet the same as metformin?
No, Glized 80mg Tablet is not the same as metformin. While both these oral medications are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, their mechanisms for reducing blood sugar levels differ. Glized 80mg Tablet acts by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas, whereas metformin enhances the body's natural insulin action.
Can you take metformin and Glized 80mg Tablet at the same time?
Yes, Glized 80mg Tablet and metformin can be taken simultaneously under your doctor's supervision. Your doctor may prescribe both medications for better blood sugar control, but this must be done according to their instructions.

Is Glized 80mg Tablet bad for kidneys?
Glized 80mg Tablet is generally safe for individuals with normal kidney function. However, it's essential to inform your doctor about any previous history of kidney problems as this medication is primarily excreted through the kidneys. If you have pre-existing kidney issues, starting with a lower dosage may be necessary.
