Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

There is nothing like good or bad tablets . All are the same . VOGLISTAR GM2 is more stronger than Glynase MF , probably this was advised to you because your blood sugars were not in control on Glynase MF. In that case you can go ahead and take VOGLISTAR GM2.

Only change is take it after food not before.

Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

NO it is better to take it after food only .

Well regarding Glynase MF if your sugars were in control then as per my opinion there is no need to change to VOGLISTAR GM.
