Hi, This is kumar, have diagnosed with DM-2 and observed that range is 150 before food and 200 after food. Dr.suggested that istamet 50/500, price wise looks more. wanted to know alternate for same. and also wanted to know that istamet is a extended release tablets ?
Hi, It is not an extended release tablet. Stamen is a combination of two anti-diabetic medicines (sitagliptin-50 mg and metformin-500 mg). You can use other effective alternatives such as Janet (sitagliptin-50 mg and metformin-500 mg) after consulting your doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
