Hello, Michael! How are you?

Have your blood sugar levels been out of control? Some people do require multiple medications with repeated dosing to get theirs under control.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, hypoglycemia, flatulence and stomach pain.

However, if you're unsure about how you should take it and if you should double up, please call the doctor to double check.
