Hello,
thanks for the inquiry
Diamicron and Glyclazide are same drugs used for diabetics - sold in different names. They are available on 30, 40 and 80 mg. You can use any ONE of these drug which is available in US.
Co-Codamol - is a compound analgesic consisting of a combination of codeine phosphate and paracetamol (acetaminophen). This is used for Pain.
I hope you understand
with warm regards
