Is Ozomet PG2 good as prescribed by my doctor, or should I take Ozomet VG2? What is the difference? Are there any substitutes for these tablets, like Voglibose or Pioglitazone? Which has fewer side effects for a 48-year-old?
Ozomet PG2 improves insulin release and sensitivity, while Ozomet VG2 mainly slows sugar absorption after meals. Pioglitazone can cause weight gain or swelling, and voglibose may cause gas, so the choice depends on your sugar pattern and tolerance. At age 48, your doctor should decide based on your heart, liver health, weight, and overall sugar control.
