Brief Answer:
It's not advisable to take two pills of Xmet together.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your query in detail.

It's not advisable to take 2 take tablets of Xmet simultaneously in case if you have missed the morning dose, since this may lead to rapid fall of blood sugar levels.

It's advisable to take only One pill of Xmet post dinner.

From tomorrow take Xmet twice a day at scheduled frequency and dosage.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.
