Asking for 70 yrs male.

Earlier He was taking glucobay 25 before food 3 times a day.
But now doctor has prescribed,
Glyciphage SR 500 mg before breakfast
And Glucobay 25 after lunch and after dinner.
Are these medicines ok?
And can he take glucobay 25 AFTER food ???
Because generally glucobay 25 is recommended to take before food. That's why I'm confused. Please help.

Glucobay is after food deficiency.

No, Glucobay should be taken with food , not before , not after. That means , you should eat food.. in the middle of your meal take the food and then continue your meal. That’s the ideal way.. rest others are fine .
