I'm taking Janumet at strength 1000/50 twice a day. I have read that the company starts doing once daily tablets of this pill. Is it already on market? My doctor doesn't know anything about this. Is someone heard something? How can I received it and what strength are available.

My physician suggested Neuropill 100mg for me. However, due to its lack of availability, the pharmacist recommended Trigabantin 100mg instead. Are both of these tablets identical in composition? ## I am a patient with diabetes and I'm currently unable to walk due to weakness. I've been informed that my nervous system is not functioning properly. Consequently, it has been suggested that I use Trigabantin. Could someone please advise me on whether this is the appropriate medication for my condition?

what is the drug study ofVamin Glucose 500cc? ## This medication is unavailable in the U.S. and I am sorry to say that other countries do not regulate their prescription drugs as strictly as the FDA does. That said, finding information on them is very difficult, since there are no databases which list them all, like there are for U.S. prescription drugs. I was however able to locate limited information about this medication. It is available to use by method of injection. And the ingredients in Vamin Glucose include the following: - Amino Acids - Calcium Chloride - Dextrose Anhydrous - Magnesium Sulfate - Potassium Chloride - Potassium Hydroxide - Sodium Hydroxide I'll be sure to post back if I am able to locate anymore info on this. Hope this helps!

What is the down-side of taking Glucophage (minimum dosage) over a long period please? ## Glucophage contains the active ingredient Metformin, which is an oral antidiabetic medication. There aren't a lot of reports, so far, associated with the long-term use of it, other than that it can cause problems with the absorption of Vitamin B12. However, there are always risks associated with the long-term use of any medication. Have you discussed it with your doctor? What you have to take under consideration is the fact that letting your diabetes get out of control carries much greater risks than those associated with using the medication. ## Many thanks for this reply.

what is major differences between metnax and neurotin in treatment of neurophy for diabetes....taking neurotin now .... doctor said i should try metnax any comments ? ## Metanx is actually a nutritional supplement and, it can help some people, if their pain is caused or aggravated by a deficiency in the vital nutrients it contains.
