I have just started this along with my usual rx for metformin 500 and the Dr. also started me on Byetta 10, I am having severe bloating and gas and it all smells like chemicals . can anyone tell me if this is normal? I have been nauseated also. Today is my 4th day of these new rx's. ## It is hard to say for sure, drugs will act differently for different people, most side effects though, do wear off after a few weeks of use, after your body adjusts to the new medication. You just started a few days ago, so you sould probably give it more time and see if it starts to taper off. If they get worse, or are particularly bothersome, then please speak to your doctor.

I found out i had type 2 diabetes in january of 2006, so my doctor put me on byetta, but i had to stop taking it in june 2006 because of the cost. My insurance doesn't cover it and it costs $187.00. It really helped me and i lost a total of 30lbs. Now i am scared i will gain the weight back. ## Byetta is really only a temporary fix for weight problems anyway, just like various diets, such as weight watchers, Jenny Craig and etc. you have to use it forever to maintain, if you ever go off, then those benefits are lost and the weight is gained back. If you really want a permanent weight loss, then you will need to set up a good diet and exercise plan, this way you can lose the weight in a healthier manner, and keep it off permanently. ## It's not that your insurance won't cover...

What medicial issuss can be acquired by taking glyburide if it is not prescibed by a physician. I was mistakenly given this medicine and took one pill a day for 2 weeks. I experienced extreme fatigue and would like to know if there are any long term or short term medical issues. ## More than likely not, if you were going to have an adverse reaction, you would have had it while you were taking it. This is a diabetes med, since you are not diabetic, it probably lowered your sugar and it didn't need to be lowered so that would explain the fatigue. Otherwise, you may have lost a little weight, as some doctors have now been prescribing it to non-diabetic patients for weight loss.

I found a white pill in my generic asprin bottle and I sent the description to the name on the asprin bottle and still haven't heard anything. The pill is larger than an asprin and has 44 with 183 underneath on one side and nothing on the other side. What is this pill? My husband takes asprin at night and noticed the difference by the feel of the pll, he is diabetic. I am not sure if he would have had a reaction if he accidently took this pill. thank you, Lucy ## Well all pills marked with a 44, followed by additional numbers are manufactured by LNK International, they only make over the counter products that are sold by various stores as their store brand or generics. They do not make any prescription items. Now, I am not sure which it is, since you posted 2 different numbers, in y...

diabetic medication ## Okay, stumped me for a minute, then I realized it should be Exenatide, this is sold under the name brands Exendin 4, Byetta, and others. Here's the monograhp listing where you can find more info: Exenatide Info Click Here This is very new to the US market, and it seems to work really well for some people and to cause awful reactions in others, so please be careful using this, and keep all doctor's appointments. Report any unusual reactions and problems right away, also remember, this is not an INSULIN, it is something that helps control your blood sugar levels by helping to aid your pancreas and augment its control of your blood sugar, so this alone will not control your sugar levels. I have a friend in Texas who has used this with great results, in additi...

White, oval pill. 500 on one side, hourglass and 4435 on other side. My question is: is the the extended release form of Metformin? I'm getting different results, and in past the pills have said XR500. Thanks fo ryour help. ## Yes, since you were obviously already looking at the regular online databases and getting conflicting information, I checked it out in a professional database that I use just so I can answer questions here like this, and yes, it is the extended release version, 500mgs. ## Thanks for that, Vernon. Guess it's just me! D ## LOL! No, not just you, many people have trouble finding the exact information they are seeking on a pill, the internet doesn't make it easy. That is why I am here, and what my job is, to help find the info when someone else has trouble...

turguoise oval tablet 3 22 one side, RDY on other side is different than the lt. blue round pills with 9 3 and 72 56 on them from different pharmacy. oval pills causing lethargy, both were supposed to be generic for amaryl. could 4mg dosage be wrong? ## No, the 4mg dose is not incorrect. Both are 4mg Glimepiride. Not all generics always release the medication exactly the same. Perhaps your system just cant handle the one form. I would talk to the pharmacist or go to a pharmacy that carries the generic that works best with your system.
