FAQs
Q. What is the best time to take Glix MR 30 Tablet?
Take Glix MR 30 Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. There is evidence stating that Glix MR 30 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.
Q. Is Glix MR 30 Tablet the same as metformin?
No, Glix MR 30 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 Glix MR 30 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, Glix MR 30 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. However, taking the two together may cause low blood sugar which may also occur if you delay or miss a meal, exercise more than usual or take it with insulin. Follow the instructions given by your doctor strictly to avoid such complications.
Q. Is Glix MR 30 Tablet bad for kidneys?
No, Glix MR 30 Tablet is not harmful if your kidney function is normal. Any previous case of kidney problem should be informed to the doctor, so that the use of Glix MR 30 Tablet can be assessed.
