Brief Answer:
Cobadex can be continued on long-term basis
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir/Madam.
I can certainly understand your concern.
Yes Cobadex can be taken for a significantly longer time in diabetic individuals, as thus vitamin deficiency is quite frequent in these people.
PIOZ can be discontinued.
The other two medications can be continued ie Diamicron and Galvus for control of blood glucose.
Monitor your blood glucose at home twice in a month to effectively titrate the drug doses.
Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
