Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended time to take Reclide Tablet?
Take Reclide Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. The recommended timing for optimal blood sugar control after meals is 30 minutes before breakfast. For a single daily dose, take it in the morning with breakfast and a glass of water.
Is Reclide Tablet equivalent to metformin?
No, Reclide Tablet is not the same as metformin. While both are oral medications used for type 2 diabetes management, they work differently to regulate blood sugar levels. Reclide Tablet increases insulin secretion from the pancreas, while metformin improves existing insulin functionality within the body.
Can I take both Reclide Tablet and metformin at the same time?
Yes, you can take Reclide Tablet and metformin together if prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe co-administration for optimal blood sugar control when taken together. However, caution is necessary as taking them together might lead to low blood sugar, which could also occur if you miss or delay meals, exercise more than usual, or combine it with insulin.
Does Reclide Tablet affect kidney function?
No, Reclide Tablet is not harmful for kidneys as long as your kidney function is normal. Any pre-existing kidney problems should be informed to your doctor so the use of Reclide Tablet can be evaluated. This is done because it is primarily excreted by the kidneys. If you have pre-existing kidney problems, a lower dose may be prescribed.
