Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Dianorm M Tablet. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

How Dianorm M Tablet works
Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Gliclazide (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin release from pancreatic beta cells, lowering blood sugar.
How to take Dianorm M Tablet
Take with meals as prescribed (often once or twice daily depending on formulation). Do not crush/chew sustained-release metformin tablets. Do not skip meals to reduce risk of hypoglycaemia; monitor blood glucose.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause a dangerous build-up of acid in the blood, with vomiting, severe weakness and laboured breathing. It can cause severe and prolonged low blood sugar, which may lead to fits or unconsciousness. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
