Hi,

Your concern is right, medicine may have side effects. However, in your case, sugar control is very necessary. And for this we can increase the dose of the said drugs.

The doses are optimum and quite safe in long run.most people use it. They offer a lot more benefits by controlling sugar then any Harm. You should not be worried about it. There are no concerns about any cancers.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
