No, Siofor 850 and Diaprel 60 MR are two different drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. Siofor belongs to a group of medicines called biguanides, while Diaprel is a medicine belonging to the group of sulphonamide sulphonylureas. Both of these medicines have different mechanisms of action and may be prescribed depending on the individual needs and circumstances of the patient. Therefore, I recommend that you consult the doctor who prescribed Diaprel 60 MR to discuss possible changes in treatment and find out if Siofor 850 may be a suitable alternative. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-diabetologiem The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book a medicine in a selected stationary pharmacy and pick up after presenting a prescription: Siofor 850: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/71383/siofor-850-tabletki-powlekane/apteki?pvid=116615#internetowe Diaprel 60 MR: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/23428/diaprel-mr-tabletki-o-zmodyfikowanym-uwalnianiu/apteki?pvid=12395#stacjonarne I also encourage you to read the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czym-sa-zamienniki-lekow
