What is this pill? White, scored, capsule shaped that says GMP-12 ## Hi Kerry, Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a pill that matches your description exactly. The closest match I've found is Metformin (1000 mg); which is an oral anti-diabetic drug in the Biguanide class. It is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, in particular, in overweight and obese people and those with normal kidney function. It is a white oval pill with the imprint GP 128 (divided by a score line) Manufacturer: Sandoz Pharmaceuticals Inc. National Drug Code (NDC): 00781-5052 Has anyone seen a pill like the one Kerry has described? If so, please post back with any information you can provide. Thanks!

I have been taking metformin 500 for a year is this a water pill? ## No, it is Not a water pill. Metformin, brand name Glucophage, is used to control high blood sugar. ## BL is correct, Metformin is not a water pill. It is a diabetic medication in the biguanide class that is indicated for the treatment of diabetes, type 2, polycystic ovary syndrome, female infertility, and insulin resistance syndrome.

Being diabetic, I am taking pioz 15 & glizide M daily after meals but sugar level remains 160. Pl. suggest may I continue or consult our doctor. Pl. also inform whether 160 is normal blood sugar level after meals. ## It is normal for there to be some elevation after meals, but there are also some other relevant things that should be taken under consideration. The first is, you said you are taking them after you meal, this means that if you are checking your blood sugar level right after you finish eating, the medication hasn't even had a chance to start working, yet. It will take them 15 to 20 minutes to start working in your body and, at that point, the full effects of your food haven't even hit your body, yet. Ideally, these medications should be taken just before a meal, ...
