I found a white pill that is blank on one side and has MET 500 with a line dividing the pill in half; MET above the line and 500 below. Can you tell me what this is and how harmful it can be if taken by the wrong person? ## The pill in description is Metformin hydrochloride (500 mg); which is an oral anti-diabetic drug in the biguanide class. How harmful this drug can be (to a random individual) is determined by how healthy or unhealthy the individual taking it is and how many of these pills they consume.... There is no proven risk in humans during pregnancy. Other than normal side effects associated with this drug, in my opinion I don't think they would experience anything else unless for instance they have other health problems that don't agree with this drug. This is just my ...

My mother takes 1 tablet Norsulin 500mg Metformin with 2.5 mg of Glipzide daily 15 minutes before breakfast and half-tablet before lunch. This was prescribed by her doctor. She says that after taking the tablet she feels not only dizzy and drowsy but also very weak. Are these normal and usual side-effects of the drug? Or does this mean her sugar level plummets everytime she takes the talet? Thanks. ## The dizziness and drowsiness can be normal side effects, but the weakness may mean that her blood sugar is dropping too low. What are her sugar readings at these times? Has she contacted her doctor, yet?

I called the pharmacy that I always order from and they they told me they had no recalls on these 500 mg Metformion tabs by TEVA and there was nothing they could do. ## Joyce,i cant believe if the vitamins smelled bad,the pharmacist wouldnt refund your money back to u. ## Metformin is not a vitamin, it is an oral antidiabetic medication. Actually, it is completely normal for this medication to have a very bad odor. Many companies just manage to keep you from smelling it by putting a coating on the tablets, so the smell never reaches your nostrils. In this case, these pills may not have the coating or it may not be as thick as normal. Are there any other questions or comments?

Any and all information of what this may be would be very helpful, please? Sincerely, One Very Concerned Parent ## I found a small pink tablet with an animal that looked like a horse on one side and one the other it looked like a regular adult tablet. I found it on the train. What could this be? ## This def. sounds like it's ecstasy...type "ecstasy pill" into Google and check images. ## It's Prandin, a brand name diabetes medication. We just spent about two hours in the pharmacy trying to figure out what the "pill with the moose on it" was. Turns out it is a bull, the logo for Novo Nordisk. Definitely NOT ecstasy, lol.
