Can i use cheaper tab than the prescribed by my doctor. From net I have read the both contains same medicines. e.g. Metforming 500 + glimipride 1 in ER version. Can i use similar contents from another manufactured which are cheaper? Is there is quality difference between them?

Hello,

The pharmacological action will be the same provided the active ingredient and strength are same. Make sure to chose a reputed brand also.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
