Is it due to use of blood thinner medicine like ecosprin av75? In that case what's the alternative?

why do people post such important and subject themselves to a potential medical situation- why not just pick up the phone and call YOUR DR. or GO THE PHARMACY AND ASK THEM! Really people!- ## @romine, Well I can't speak for everyone, but I do know that some questions of this nature don't necessarily need to be answered by a doctor specifically. For example, if there is a score line on your pill then it's usually safe to be cut in half, since that's what it's intended for. In the case that there's no dividing line, then it certainly would be a good idea to contact your doctor or pharmacy first and foremost (especially if they are time-released tablets). And even then, not all medical professionals know how a drug is going to end up effecting you until you start ta...

I am takiung """""""""""Glyburide-Metforming 5-5 and Januvia 100mg for my diabetes ## Hello, Juan! How are you? The A1C is basically an average that shows how your blood sugar has been doing over a certain period of time. There's no way to just suddenly lower it and make your sugar levels look as if they've been doing well. You'll need to take your medications, as prescribed and make sure to eat a health, low sugar/low fat diet, while also getting lots of exercise, so it starts to go down to normal levels. Is there anything else I can help with?

How are you? All Metformin actually has a foul smell to it, it's just that many manufacturers coat the tablets, so it doesn't bother anyone. And your blood sugar should fluctuate to a point, just like blood pressure, it shouldn't always be just one steady number.

I am taking metformin 1000mg twice a day. what should be the time interval between two takes? ## Hello, Peter! How are you? Usually, it's taken just before a meal to help control blood sugar levels and, in most cases, that would be breakfast and dinner. However, what has your doctor advised? Did they give you any specific instructions? ## Hi, then what about lunch? I was told by my doctor to take it in the morning with breakfast and in the evening with dinner. However, I eat a heavier lunch than breakfast and wonder if I should take the first one at lunch rather than breakfast. I take Metformin 1000mg HCL. Is this extended release or just regular? Thank you for your time and advice.

Since one year I am taking Jalra 50mg 1 tab instead of Pioglit as per Dr. advise. Since one month I am getting little constipation problem. I want to know is this due to Jalra 50? Thanks. ## Learn more Jalra details here. And yes, it may cause constipation as a side effect.

Hi.. My mum is 58 and she is diabetic, usually her sugar n bp levels are always high but recently her sugar levels has dropped leading to her going into a diabetic coma.Her iron n blood levels are extremely low and she's very weak. Her chest gets wheezy mostly at night BUT SHE DOESN'T have wheezing or asthma, the clinic just nibulize her chest n sends her back, this happens twice or thrice a week,not sure what to do anymore..pls help! ## Hello, Sharal! How is your mom doing? That sounds like she may be having congestive heart failure, which is possible if her blood pressure levels have been high for awhile. Does she have a cardiologist? This needs to be checked out and remedied. That wheezing mostly at night is a symptom of it. What medications does she take?
