Comparing diabetes formulations

Diabetes medicines work in different ways. This catalogue includes metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin and empagliflozin, and DPP-4 inhibitors such as sitagliptin and linagliptin, as well as combination formulations.

The complete formulation matters: metformin alone is different from metformin combined with another diabetes medicine. Immediate-release and extended-release products also have different instructions. Use the individual product information to identify the formulation rather than choosing by tablet strength alone.

Can I replace a diabetes combination tablet with a single ingredient?

A combination tablet contains two or more medicines. Replacing it changes the treatment, even when one ingredient has the same strength. Ask the prescriber or pharmacist to confirm the complete regimen.

For an enquiry, include the product name, strength, dosage form, pack quantity and destination country. Send a product enquiry or read about export documentation support.
