Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Sir, The drugs you are taking now Glavusmet is an effective antidiabetic medication containing Vidagliptin and metformin drugs. The sugar levels are slightly higher to normal and so an additional drug actos which is also very effective.
This is usually done by any doctor until a correct dose is set to control blood sugar levels. after that the same medication is continued as far as the sugar levels are under control. So, Don't worry and follow the treatment given by your treating doctor.
Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
