Regarding GMM 1 (glimepiride/metformin) and Inditel 40 mg (telmisartan), it is highly unsafe to take these medications with alcohol. Alcohol can cause dangerously low blood sugar and sudden, severe drops in blood pressure when combined with his therapy. Instead of starting alternative medicines, the safest step is to consult his doctor to adjust his current treatment. Supportive lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet and reducing alcohol, will also help. Please encourage him to have his levels reviewed by his doctor soon so we can safely support his health.
