I barely srtarted to take Jalra M 50/500mg and I had being expeiencing stomach ache. I read that this symptom is parte of the side effects. Should I continue using this medication or shoud I stop. Please respond. Thank You. ## after taking Jalra M, I have metallic taste, find fruits and food fried in oil smelling foul and increase belly fat. Doctor advises no change of medicine. Shall i change medicine, ## Hi, Nacho! The side effect of the stomach ache should taper off after awhile, as your body gets used to the medication and not treating your diabetes would be far more dangerous, because it can be life threatening. And Bhagabat, those are also side effects that may wear off after awhile. How long have either of you been taking this medication? ## My one of friend taking Tb jalra once ...

I have been taking Metformin XR 500 MG for about 2 years after having an issue with nausea with regular Metformin. In an effort to lower my reliance on meds I began cutting the 500 MG pill in half about 6 months ago and in the last 2 mos have had constant nausea and some diarrhea. Stopped Metformin about 6 weeks ago but still having same issues. Nausea level is about 3-5 on a scale of 1-10. It appears that I should not have split the pills in half. My stomach “growls” constantly and I plan to see a gastroenterologist. I am tired regularly and no longer exercising. ## The ER designates it as being a time released formulation, so no, it should not be cut, or broken, as that could cause you to get too much of the medication, at once. The nausea and diarrhea can be typical side ...

I have been on this drug for almost 4 weeks now. I have had diahrea really bad. It is always like water. Everything I eat goes straight through. I have been taking anti diarhea pills with no help. I have lost ten pounds. Is this normal and what can i do for it? ## I stopped taking metformin about 2 years ago because of diarhrea and also the fact that I wanted to completely control my diabetes with diet only. Diet did work somewhat but did not put my blood sugar numbers into the "normal zone". I began taking metformin again recently to further reduce my blood sugar and to lose weight. As long as I eat NO SUGAR, NO BREAD, NO RICE, NO POTATOES, NO PASTA AND NO RICE - I never have diarhea now. LOW CARB IS THE WAY TO GO IF YOU HAVE DIABETES. ## Yes, the diarrhea can be a normal side ...

hypercholesterolemia ## what is plavastatin for ## i would like to know how this drug plavasttin works. with diabetes. does it raise your sugar levels or waht does it do . i'm new at this. ## Did you mean Pravastatin? If so, it is used to help lower cholesterol levels. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. A lot of it depends on you, Felisia, and how your body reacts to any given medication. What medications do you take for your diabetes? Have you been diagnosed with high cholesterol, or is your doctor just prescribing this as a precaution?

I usually have my prescriptions filled at Walgreens but recently switched to express scripts. I have noticed that the numbers on my pills have changed from:Oval BLUE TABLET SIDE 1: AHI 4 to OVAL BLUE Tablet Marking: RDY/3 22. Does this mean the express script Glimepiride isn’t as good/or will have a different effect on me? ## No, it just means it has been manufactured by a different pharmaceutical company. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, stomach pain, and diarrhea. How are you doing on the new one? Has there been any change?

I have a BAD headache, I take Janumet daily and I need to know if I can take Tylenol at the same time with the Janumet. ## I didn't find any problems, or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check to be sure. The FDA does warn that you may experience nausea, dizziness, and headache. Do you have any idea what has caused the headache? Have you checked your blood sugar levels? If they are too high, or too low, the NIH warns that headaches could be a symptom. Are you on any other medications?

I've been taking Metanx for 6 months due to diabetic nephropathy and foot drop in my left foot. After the first few months I thought there was minimal improvement in frequency and severity of the pain. But now, after 6 months, it seems like the pain is as frequent and severe as when I started. I just picked up a refill and found that the price (not covered by my insurance) has almost doubled in the past 6 months. So, for $75 a month and little or no improvement, I'm done with Metanx. Incidentally, if you research this product carefully you will find that even though it is only available by prescription, it is classified as a medical food and not reviewed or approved by the FDA for efficacy or safety. ## Hi Lewie, Metanx does have published studies that show it repairs damaged ne...
