volibo m 0.3 is to be taken once or twice daily? ## Hi shri, Based on my research, the usual adult dose for Volibo (voglibose) is 200 to 300 mcg 3 times a day on an empty stomach, 15-30 minutes before meals. Always be sure to follow the prescribing information that was given to you by your doctor or pharmacist.

Voglibose delays the absorption of glucose and thereby reduces the risk of macrovascular complications. Postprandial hyperglycemia (PPHG) is primarily due to first phase insulin secretion.

I am 65 years. Have Diabetes Type2 since many years, but under control off and on. I have also gone under angioplasty in June-2005, and have 2 stents. I started on Penegra (after stopping Monotrate-20 for 3 days), one tablet of Penegra 100 mg. I continued for four days. First 3 days were wonderful. But after the fourth tablet, day before yesterday, I am feeling pain in legs and around hips. What can I do and what must have happened?? Is this irreversible ? ## Why the hell were you taking for 4 days in a row? This is NOT cialis!!

I can nort afford $71.00 month for this RX. Any help with cost or substitutes??? ## There is no generic substitute available for Metanx.

Tb XIGDUO twice daily or alternatively FORXIGA 5mg twice + CARBOPHAGE 1000mg )twice. Also JANUVIA 100 mg once daily. which will avoid causing weight gain and help loose weight. Again for BP the tablet recommended is Natrilam 5 mg 2 tabs a day. Also ZEROFAT A for weight reduction. Height is 6 ft whilst weight is 145 kg. These things have been detected off-late at an early age 38 yrs. Just worried hope these combinations do not have any side effects in the long run. Off-late the XIGDUO and JANUVIA have been recommended. Kindly advise hope these medicines do not have any major side effects in the long run. ## agula ki madicine ar nam plz aktu bolben r apnader phone number dilay aktu balo hoto

Please suggest me a suitable treatment and what type of doctor should be consulted.

I know that Glycomet is used by diabetic patients. My wife has become fat unnecessarily. She is 92 kg, 38 years and has 158 cms height. She has thyroiditis and and her USG of Abdomen and Pelvis report shows that she has mild fatty liver and polycystic ovaries (3-4mm follicles). The doctor has suggested her to take glycomet r 500 twice a day. Is it OK if she takes glycomet r 500 to reduce her weight and have a baby? We are also planning to have a baby. Please kindly suggest us. ## She should take the medication as prescribed by her doctor. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and flatulence. Has she started taking it, yet? Has there been any change?

I have been taking 12.5 mg Jardiance once per day at breakfast for 8 days now. Added to that are 50 units of humalin n morning and bedtime morning sugar today 5.4 and 5 lb weight loss. Sounds like a match made in Heaven but the nausea (no vomiting) and the dizziness keep me pretty much lying down. Does this get better or disappear over time? Anyone know? I'm trying to persevere with it but it's horrible feeling this way. ?? ## Such side effects usually do go away, but it may take about 4 to 5 weeks for your body to get used to the medication. You may also experience headache, and diarrhea. Has anything changed, at all, yet? ## I'm actually feeling much better today....not 100%, but better. Thanks for your reply. It's good to know I'm not alone in this. ??
