Currently medicines which u using are very good drugs and they are with lot of benefits like cardiovascular benefits and other benefits. These drugs have proven in large studies that using these are beneficial and over a long term save u lot of expenses in future as they are far better and only drug avoiding heart failure, heart attack and death. So similar class of drug which do not have such a back of evidence are these which cost lesser. So choice is yours. Can substitute janumet 50/500 to vildapride 50/500 and jardiance 12.5 to Remo 100. So have given u all the important information kindly make a informed choice.
