Hi,
The antidiabetic drugs which you are taking do not appear to cause fatty liver and are considerably safe to consume. The dosage appears to be in normal limits however the dosage depends primarily on the effect of drug on your disease, so the dosages need to be titrated with the effect within the widow of min to max levels.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
