FAQs
Q. What is the best time to take Glizihenz 60mg Tablet?
Take Glizihenz 60mg Tablet before meals or exactly as instructed by your doctor. There is evidence stating that Glizihenz 60mg Tablet works best at controlling post meal high blood sugar levels when taken 30 minutes before breakfast.

Q. Is Glizihenz 60mg Tablet the same as metformin?
No, Glizihenz 60mg 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.

Follow the instructions given by your doctor strictly to avoid such complications.
