Only your doctor can answer this question. We should not accept suggestions from patients and friends in treating any condition. Of course , this forum provides a platform for exchange of information , experience etc, but not prescriptions for treatment and medicines. Evaluating medicines need closer study of the condition, and patient's response to medicines, activity levels, food habits etc .It is an expert's area. Many generic drugs are very cheap.. Metformin coming with trade name of Glyciphage is much cheaper. It becomes costly when other combinations such as pioglizine, or glimpiride etc are added . You can have discussion with your healthcare professionsal and get proper advise. But these days it has become so commercial that a nexus between doctors, pharmasists, and medicine companies are becoming blood suckers of hapless, and helpless patients. Any way afterall we have to live in this world . all the best.
