Hello doctor, my mom is taking obimet sr 500 for diabetes twice daily. Now, from the medical store, we got an obimet 500 strip instead of sr. Can we use it as normal or is there any change required? Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query. It is always better to use the same drug, however, there is very little difference between Sr and plane tablet. Thanks.
