Dear Nischay,
Megavog 0.3mg is mostly an add on to your glycomet gp3/850. The most logical explanation is that your grandma's blood sugars are being managed using glycometgp3/850mg. To get a better post prandial control the doctor would have added megavog 0.3 (voglibose) to be taken just at the starting of meal. This will help her get better control on your post prandial values. So the answer is she has to take both..
