Hi, I had gone through your query and understood you concerns.

Sir, glim fix 2 contains Glimipiride, It should be taken before food. after taking it take foof after 15-20 minutes but remember with in half an hour.
Glyciphage is metformin, a biguanide should be taken after food between 10- 15 minutes.

Hope this guides you. Thank you.
