how to use Metformin and glimer , whether before meals or after meals. pl advise ## Glimepiride and Metformin are both oral antidiabetic medications and these tablets do take 15 to 20 minutes to start working, once you take them, therefore, ideally to get the most benefit from them, they should be taken just before a meal. That way, once you are done with your meal, they have already had a chance to start working to help lower your blood sugar. They share several side effects in common, so you may experience: nausea, diarrhea, low blood sugar and headache. More details: Is there anything else I can help with? ## take vomistop tds azithro 250 bd alprex od and omesec od and stop taking tramadol ## pls give information on Diabetic treatment. ## im diabetic.i take glimer2 before breackfast ...

I have yellow oblong pill with 48 on one side and either D or A on the other side. If its an A then the A is rounded and the peak of the A. ## I have a yellow oblong pill with a "48" on one side and an uppercase "A" -OR- an uppercase "D" on the other.

I take 1000 mg Metformin made by Solco. There are black specks in all of the white pills and black specks left in the bottom of the bottle. The black specks do not appear inside the pills. This seems like a dirt problem in the manufacturing process. Please advise... ## Was this in a factory sealed bottle, or a bottle dispensed by your pharmacy? If it was from your pharmacy, then you should contact them about the issue, however if it was a factory sealed bottle that was never opened by a pharmacy, then you should report it to the company. If you're in the U.S. you can reach them at: 714-513-1000

what are the uses of redumet other than sugar? does it have any side effect for this medicine? ## All medications carry the risk of side effects, even over the counter products. I can't find any information on a medication under this name, however, from your saying it is used to treat sugar problems and from the name, I am making a guess that it probably contains the active ingredient Metformin, which is an oral antidiabetic medication. It is also sometimes given to women that suffer from PCOD, to improve their body's use of insulin. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, abdominal pain and flatulence. Learn more: Does this sound right? What country is it from?

A nurse from my Dr.'s office called to tell me to take Mentanx, and said it was over the counter...However, I can't seem to find it...Where then? ## Metanx is a nutritional supplement, specifically formulated to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy, it contains Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and B12. And no, it is not available over the counter, due to the formulation and amounts it contains, it is available from your pharmacy, by prescription only. Have you tried contacting their office, again? If they want you to take this, you will need a prescription.

My daughter has been prescribed Glycomet 500 for the past 8 months due to her high insulin levels, and she is suffering from obesity. I am eager to understand how Glycomet is beneficial and what the potential downsides are under long-term use of this medication? ## Glycomet contains the active ingredient Metformin, this is an oral antidiabetic medication that is used to help lower and control blood sugar levels. Its side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. There are always possible risks associated with the long-term use of any medication, however, what you have to take under consideration is the fact that, if she is diabetic, then letting that condition continue out of control is far more risky, than anything she faces from using the medication.

I would like to know the generic name of this drug (Volix) and any other information you may have on it. ## The generic name is Voglibose. Its available in 0.2 and 0.3mg strengths. There are only couple of manufacturers of this molecule. These companies manufacture on behalf of other companies and are marketed under different brand names like Vobose (USV), Voglistar (Mankind), Voglimac (Macleods), Volabay (Wallace), etc.. The brand names carry different MRP but the manufacturer is the same! Check it out!

Avandaryl (Rosiglitazone and Glimepiride) is marked with GSK 44 ## Pills marked with a 44, followed by additional numbers are over the counter products.

Is there anything else I can help you with? ## Why oh why didnt I take the BLUE pill? (The Matrix)

Side effects of Metadoze.IPR tablet for diabetic ## Common side effects associated with this medication can include: stomach discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, wind (gas), indigestion or diarrhoea. These side effects are noted to be expected and are said to pass with time. Taking Metadoze-IPR with food will help reduce any stomach discomfort. Also, you may experience an unusual taste in the mouth while you are on this medication. If you are taking the extended-release type of Metadoze-IPR, you may see a small tablet-shaped casing in your bowel movements. This is noted to be normal, and you shouldn't be alarmed. This casing is just an empty shell; the medicine inside it has already been absorbed by your body. Hope this information helps!
