A member asked:

What are the differences between a diabetic prescription having a 50mg/1000mg and a 50mg/500mg dosage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Silviu Pasniciuc answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Combo: What you describe is a combo made of 2 drugs. The second one is typically Metformin that comes in 500 and 1000 mg. The difference is made by the Metformin dose per pill, 500/1000.
