Precaution

1. Follow the Recommended Dosage

Take Daonil-M Tablet SR according to your healthcare professional’s instructions. Do not change the dose or stop taking the medicine without professional guidance.

2. Take the Tablet With Meals

Taking Daonil-M Tablet SR with food can help reduce stomach discomfort. Follow the recommended timing and maintain a consistent daily routine.

3. Monitor Blood Sugar Levels

People with liver problems may need additional assessment before using this combination medicine. Share relevant medical information so that its suitability can be evaluated.
