Brief Answer:
Take before meals

Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thanks for consulting on Health Care magic.

You can take this medicine before meals, at least 30 minutes but make sure you will definitely eat within 30 minutes of taking the medicine. The reason is because the medicine will already be working when you finish your meal.

Glycomet GP2 contains the active ingredients Glimepiride and Metformin, both of which are oral antidiabetic medications that are used to help lower and control blood sugar. It can cause side effects, just as any other medication can, they may include: nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. So be cautious about them please.

Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
