Frequently asked questions
What is the recommended timing for taking Synlide 60 Tablet MR?
Take Synlide 60 Tablet MR exactly as instructed by your doctor, and ideally before meals.

Is Synlide 60 Tablet MR the same as metformin?
No, Synlide 60 Tablet MR is not the same as metformin. Although both are oral medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, they work differently to reduce sugar levels.

Can I take metformin and Synlide 60 Tablet MR at the same time?
Yes, Synlide 60 Tablet MR and metformin can be taken together, but only under the guidance of your doctor. Your doctor may have prescribed the combination to control your blood sugar levels. However, taking the two together may increase the risk of low blood sugar, which can occur if you miss a meal, exercise excessively, or take it with insulin. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully to avoid complications.
Is Synlide 60 Tablet MR harmful to the kidneys?
No, Synlide 60 Tablet MR is not harmful if your kidney function is normal. However, if you have a history of kidney problems, it is essential to inform your doctor before taking Synlide 60 Tablet MR.
