I am taking a tablet of Galvus-Met 50/500 and Metride 1. These are very costly medicines and I am looking for some cheaper combination. Mydiabetese Type II is monitored as follows


PP Blood 163.4
Fasting 96.63
Hb1AC 6.03

Pl advise. Will X-met be cheaper and equally effective.

No, the X-Met only contains the active ingredient Metformin.

Learn more Metformin details here.

But in the Glavusmet there is Vidagliptin and Metformin and in the Metride there is Glimepiride and Metformin, so the X-Met is not an equivalent medication.

Learn more Vidagliptin details here.

Learn more Glimepiride details here.

Have you tried controlling your diabetes with diet and exercise, so you may eventually not require so many medications?
