sir, I am 60 years old. I have been diagnosed as diabetic, high BP, high triglyceride patient. Medicines prescribed as Tazloc 40, Glizid M 80, and Rozucor F 10. After taking these medicines for about 15 days, a severe "DRYCOUGH " attacked me. However, I am continuing the medicines as per the advise of my physician. kindly advise me what is the reason for such drycough. Shall I continue these medicines? Kindly also tell me is this drycough is taking place due to Tazloc 40 or due to some other medicines which I am taking? ## Hi, Subrata! Sorry about the dry cough, I know that's very annoying, especially since it just doesn't go away.

I am so frustrated with drug companies adding sugar alcohols like sorbitol and mannitol in medicines. I have been taking Prilosec for gastritis for about 10 months. My doctor asked that the pharmacist give me an rx (for gastritis) that does not contain sorbitol. I have been taking the Prilosec for over 1 month and I am still having my symptoms. I just check the ingredients and it contains mannitol which is just like sorbitol. WHY is this allowed in medicine. There are a huge number of people (especially those with irritable bowel syndrome) who are becoming sicker because sorbitol and mannitol causes gastritis issues with them and others like me who get extremely sick (and dehydrated) with just a little bit of this! It is extremely dangerous for young children and the elderly. How can I ...

this tab gemer forte 2 eat after or before meals pls ## These types of antidiabetic medications that help lower and control blood sugar should normally be taken just before a meal, that way they have a chance to start working, by the time you are digesting your meal, which is when your blood sugar would be affected. However, if your doctor has instructed you to take it at some other time, then you should follow their instructions. Gemer Forte 2 contains the active ingredients Glimepiride and Metformin, side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. You can learn more Glimepiride details here and there are more Metformin details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am not diabetic or in any stages. My doctor gave it to me to help with weight loss. I have about 30 lbs to lose and cant get rid of it. I am 55. Will this hurt me to take this? ## It seems that in some people a sluggish metabolism that makes it difficult for them to lose weight can be caused by insulin resistance and it can sometimes be helped by having them take an antidiabetic medication that can improve their body's use of insulin. Learn more Metformin details here. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. There are possible risks with taking any medication, but only you and your doctor can decide if the possible benefits outweigh them. Have you discussed your concerns with your doctor?

I am having pain in the calf zone due to pull of the siatic nerve or so. Is it connected with use of Glycomet SRand Glycomet GPi over long period (of years) to combat diabetics. ## No, it isn't likely that it's due to using the medication, but it may be due to the diabetes itself. If you're blood sugars haven't been under control then it can cause nerve damage. Do you take your medication as prescribed? Do you also watch your diet and check your blood sugar regularly?
