What is this pill? It arrived in a bottle of glyburide 5 mg. I think it is a stowaway from the mail-order pharmacy, As above: small, scored, pink pill, oblong in shape, inscribed with I 36 on one side. ## My guess is that it was an error, the tablet in question contains 2.5mgs of Glyburide. They were probably working to fill several orders of the same medication and one in a different dosage accidentally ended up in the wrong packaging. In case you're new to taking it, you can discover more Glyburide details here. You should report it to them, that way they can be more careful in the future. Since this is the same medication, it isn't necessarily a dangerous mix up, though someone may have some problems since it isn't the proper dosage, but if this happened with the wrong me...

I have ulcerative colitus and now have been given Metformin 500mg to lower my glucose readings. Since starting the Metformin I have had very loose bowel movements. Should I stop the Metformin? Thanks ## Letting your blood sugar levels continue out of control can cause far more serious complications than diarrhea. How long have you been taking the Metformin?

Have you consulted your doctor? There may be something you can take to help with the issue. If you are diabetic, it is very important not to stop this medication, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. ## find pills in my metformin,it has a z on front and...

Symptoms; I have been taking the drug Januvia for about 18 months. I have lost weight, i am itching all of the time, these are two of the symptoms of pancreatic cancer.

My father has a fasting sugar of 99. He is taking Insulin and after eating he is taking Glycomet GP 2 . After that he is very tired. Should he have to stop taking Glycomet GP 2 or the Insulin? ## Tiredness can be due to a number of different things, including your father's choice of foods whether he is on insulin or not. It is known to be pretty severe if one were to accidentally overdose on Glycomet (Metformin). This leads me to wonder if there are any sort of interactions between Metformin and food that might cause it's effects to be increased or amplified. Also, the fact that he is on a few different medications could be a bit overwhelming on his system. If he's able to cycle through his meds, I think it may help determine the cause of this tiredness. However I wouldn...
