I'm starting to feel a numbness and stinging feeling in both of my thighs it's the front of my leg above the knees I don't know if I'm diabetic but it runs in my family and I have missed several of my doctor appointments. I'm going to reschedule so I can get this check out soon. Are there any suggestions on what it could be? ## Hi Jerome, Sorry to hear about your situation. How long have you been noticing this tingling/numbing sensation? Could it be due to a lack of circulation? Does walking or any other form of exercise help alleviate it? Do you have a lot of sugar in your diet? These are questions that I would be asking myself if it were me experiencing this. I hope that your doctor's appointment goes well. Please keep us posted with any updates or thoughts mov...

NDC code: 50458-0141 The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, stomach pain, and hypoglycemia. What medication was it found in?

I am unable to take Metformin as it causes severe side effects and pulmonary oedema. I tried Liraglutide (Victoza) injections which gave my tachycardia. As I have heart failure I was then prescribed Jardiance 10mg 3 months ago which seemed to be ok but I'm not on the loo every hour and have not lost weight (gained 5kg actually). It was increased to 25mg 2 weeks ago and I have been increasingly breathless on mild exertion (speaking and bending forward). Feel like I'm full term pregnant. Surely I can't have side-effects to this too? My blood sugars are fine. ## What are your blood pressure readings? The symptoms you've described can also be due to congestive heart failure, according to NIH warnings. Those are typical symptoms of it. Do you ever wake up at night unable to b...

My husband and I are both on Metformin but he takes the Er 500 and I take the Hcl Er 500? He still works and exercises but I'm retired on disability and unable to exercise much because of post polio problems. Does that make a difference in what we take? We do not have the same doctors. ## There is no difference, they are both the exact same thing. The HCL just designates it as a hydrochloride salt and in one instance it was included in the wording, in the other it was left off. This is an oral antidiabetic agent. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and low blood sugar.
