Hello,
TRIBET 2 contains 2 mg GLIMMIPRIDE,500 mg METFORMIN and 15 mg PIOGLITAZONE.
Since PIOGLITAZONE has been banned by the government,TRIBET 2 is no more available now.
You can take GLIMMIPRIDE 2 mg and METFORMIN 500 mg and can add METFORMIN 500 mg before your dinner in night for compensation of PIOGLITAZONE.However you may discuss with your doctor,since various other alternatives can be tried.
Thanks

Hi, for a diabetic it is important to see the doctor at least once in a month, or at least once in an year. Because the dose of the drugs will be changing according to the age, built and food . So consult your doctor accordingly and follow his advise. Thank you.
