I am diagnosed as having Diabetes type two, controlled with Gliclazide, 80mg daily and was diagnoswed with cirosis of the liver about 3 months ago. The Package information says don't take them if you have severe liver disease and warnings if you have diabetes. Checked with Doctor who says its OK. A buit confused by this.

    Doctor said what? It's OK to take both at same time? 

    Pressed him about the information on package ?

    I'd be confused too, Geoff. Speak to the pharmacist- they are more experienced in the way of drugs than doctors.

      Don't go through receptionist but speak to a good pharmacist yourself about your concerns - find another pharmacist.
