Brief Answer:
Components are slightly different in dosage.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Zoril-M1 and Zoril M-2 are combination drugs that contain metformin and glimipride. However the amount of individual drugs are slightly different, Zoril M1 contain 1000 mg metformin and 1 mg glimipride where as Zoril M2 contain 1000 mg metformin and 2mg glimipride.
So it is better not substitute the two drugs. If there is difficulty in swallowing you can break the pill in to two for ease of swallowing ,you can also try different brand also.
Thanks
