Do you still take your meds if you don't have breakfast..

Which meds? Some meds yes, some meds no.

 

[kevkave]

Gliclazide and alogliptin

I only know about Gliclizide and yes you need to eat when you take this. It can cause a hypo if you take it without eating. When I was on it I used to take it 20 minutes before my meal, but it does continue working for longer. If I didn’t eat I didn’t take it

Gliclazide and alogliptin

And what instructions did you get for taking them?
If you take them once a day with breakfast, your lunch would be your breakfast.

 

[kevkave]

2 in morning and 2 with evening meal

2 in morning and 2 with evening meal

If I were you I'd ask your doctor if it would be ok to take the morning medication with lunch if you skip breakfast.

Do you still take your meds if you don't have breakfast..

When I was on metformin I stuck to the instructions on the box, "take with meals". So if I did not eat I did not take them, if I ate I took them.
