Does Metnax cause dry mouth and buring tongue irratition? Been taking two tabs per day for about 5 months and the last two mouths my mouth is dry and tongue always irritated. ## Metanx is a B complex nutritional supplement that's specially formulated to help with conditions such as neuropathy. However, as such, it's really not tested for side effects, as is done with actual prescription medications and it's always difficult to say how it may affect any given person that takes it. Have you discussed these symptoms with your doctor?

The doctors believe my good friend has fiber myalgia. They recommend a gluten free diet because she is suffering from major bloating and joint pain, waking up with with severe burning in her hand. She can't sleep because its too painful. I'm trying to discover what medications have gluten in them. Its one thing we haven't considered. ## Well, first glucose and gluten aren't the same thing. Gluten, however, is the one you're probably talking about, because it has been known to cause these problems in some people. As to the medications that contain it, that would be most of them that are on the market, so I couldn't possibly list them all here. However, if you can post back with a specific list of the medications she takes, I will gladly check for you to see which ...

What is the difference between Janumet XR 50mg/100 mg and Glipizide 5mg? Can they be used together? ## Janumet XR contains the active ingredients Metformin and Sitagliptin in a time released formulation to help better lower and control blood sugar in diabetic people. The Glipizide is a different oral antidiabetic medication. Has your doctor instructed you to use both medications? They can be taken together, but only if someone is experiencing high sugar levels that are hard to control, because it increase the risk of hypoglycemia. ## The active ingredients of Janumet XR are Sitagliptin + Metaformin. Both of these medications are used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Glipizide is generally used along with diet and exercise, and (sometimes) with other medications, to treat type 2 dia...

I am experiencing unexplained bruising on my upper arm and inner thigh. I told my doctor about, but she said Megan's wouldn't cause and that it's a good med w good vitamins. I didn't tell her I also take B6 every but have seen on line that I could be taking too many vitamins. I've stopped taking the Metanx to see if the bruising stops. ## You should call your doctor and tell her that fact. Yes, there can be severe problems that arise if you are taking too much of anything, even vitamins and the B vitamins can be especially problematic. Even if the bruising stops, you may have done some permanent damage, that you should be tested for. Did she check your vitamin levels with a blood test?

Just got my Metformin ER 750 refilled. The pills look different... could be different manufacturer? One has 93 on one side and 7212 on the other. The other has 143 stamped on one side and nothing I can see on the other side. Help? ## Yes, they are both the same medication, a controlled release formulation of Metformin in a 750mg dosage. The one with the 93 is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and the 143 is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals. It is common for the pharmacy to switch which generic they supply, depending on which company was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. It's how they keep their prices as low as possible for customers without insurance. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was prescribed with CLOPIDOGREL -PLAGERINE 7...

Is there a company in the United States that manufactures Metformin? ## Since Metformin is a generic, there are several companies that manufacturer it in the U.S. There is no way, however, of knowing which one may be carried by your local pharmacy, but you can try asking them about it.

I am 65 years. Have Diabetes since many years, but under control off and on. I have also gone under angioplasty in June-2005. I started on Penegra (after stopping Monotrate-20 for 3 days), one tablet of Penegra 100 mg. I continued for four days. First 3 days were wonderful. But after the fourth tablet, day before yesterday, I am feeling pain in legs and around hips. What can I do and what must have happened?? Is this irreversible ?

I've been taking Gyree 4 and Cetapin XR 500 in the morning before breakfast and another dose of Cetapin XR 500 at night, before dinner, per my doctor's instructions. This regiment has kept my blood sugar under control for quite some time. However, after a seizure resulted from an overdose of Synasma, my treatment was adjusted by another physician to Glyree 4 in the morning and Cetapin XR 500 at night, which also maintained my blood sugar levels well. Ten months later, with my glucose level dropping to 53, the physician adjusted my treatment to Cetapin 500 in the morning and night. Since this change, my fasting blood sugar averages about 140, with postprandial levels around 180. Could it be beneficial for me to revert back to my previous regimen, with Glyree 4 and Cetapin 500 in ...
