Can Alternate Medicines For Diabetes Have Side Effects?
Yesterday, my doctor asked me take Galvusmet 50/500 instead of 500 mg glycopage for my diabetes, as my HB1acL (???) has increased to 7.6. I was not comfortable yesterday after having this medicine ( feeling pain at backhead).. I could not drive properly Any reasons ?
