Diabetic meds question
Hi all,
A question for all you diabetics and medical staff out there.
A friend of mine is heading to KSA shortly, he is diabetic, type one and uses 'Metformin' 500mg tablets to keep it under control.
Are these exact brand of tablets available, or if not, anyone know the KSA equivalent? I know the same tablets come under many brand names.
Kind Regards
DS

Re: Diabetic meds question
I used Metformin a few years ago and they were available in Pharmacies in KSA. No need for a prescription, unless things have changed. There are lots of diabetics in KSA.
