Q. What is the best time to take Zogliz 80mg Tablet?
Take Zogliz 80mg Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. There is evidence stating that Zogliz 80mg Tablet works best at controlling post meal high blood sugar levels when taken 30 minutes before breakfast.

Q. Is Zogliz 80mg Tablet the same as metformin?
No, Zogliz 80mg 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.

Yes, Zogliz 80mg Tablet and metformin can be taken at the same time but only if prescribed by the doctor.
