Yes, you can take Euglycin with a beta-blocker. People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease or stroke at an earlier age than the general population. One reason for this is that high glucose levels increase your risk of high blood pressure (hypertension). No harmful interactions are seen between them. However, a recent study suggests that beta-blockers can decrease the plasma level of Euglycin and long-term use can increase lactic acid and uric acid in the blood.

Euglycin should be taken with food to reduce stomach and bowel side effects, which may experience the first few weeks of treatment. Also, exercise regularly and test for sugar in your blood or urine as directed.

No, you should not take alcohol with Euglycin, because it can cause serious side effects which includes hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The risk of hypoglycemia is higher when you're drinking and taking Euglycin than if you're just taking Euglycin. Some of the signs of hypoglycemia include dizziness, confusion, and drowsiness.
