Taking Januvia, Amaryl Prescribed By Endocrinologist. Is It OK To Take Extra Dosage Of Medication?
I am taking 1 tab. of Januvia 100mg after breakfast ,and 1 tablet of Amaryl M 1mg+vitmins after launch and 1 tab. before dinner. My fasting BS has come down to 100 or below ,at times Will this be alright? I am taking the extra dose of AmarylM 1mg on my own without consulting Doctor!Please don't be angry with me,to consult a Doctor,endocrinologist,one must be lucky (with of course plenty of money).I am a pensioner with no medical benefit what so ever.Moreover Januvia which I was taking was imported from Italy,Now this is being made in India and it's efficiency reduced,and prompted me to extra dose. Please advice.
