Pills were found on the ground & an open medicine bottle with the name torn off. Found on school property. How should I dispose of them? ## Hello, Kat! How are you? Th FDA disposal instructions say that they should be mixed with some undesirable substance, such as damp used coffee grounds or dirty cat litter, placed in a sealed container such as a coffee can and then disposed of with your regular garbage. Alternatively, you can take them to any pharmacy and they will dispose of them for you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Pharmacies may no longer do that. When my husband died, I tried to take his meds to our CVS for disposal, but they wouldn't take them. I did the kitty litter thing (it doesn't have to be "dirty" kitty litter). The hospice nurse said to m...

I've read many articles about the possible benefits of Metformin outside diabetes treatment. However I've also read a few articles about health dangers such as heart damage. It seems there is paradoxical information, countering the anti aging claims there's articles stating Metformin actually shortened lifespans in male mice while extending it in females. Is Metformin a safe medication for non diabetic men, or even diabetic men?

Is this normal?? ## Hello, Sheena! How is your sister doing? Do you know what kind of Metformin she takes?

What dosage does she take? ## Oh, I want to specify, I'm not saying the getting sick and vomiting is normal, just the possibility of seeing the outer she...

Can I alternate between strength 1000 one night 750 the next night and so on ## Hello, Marie! How are you? Yes, you can do that, as long as your doctor approves.
