Metformin Forums (Page 10)

I would like to know whether I can take METFORMIN 1000MG, GLIMEPERIDE 2MG and VOGLIBOSE 0.2mg separately, because it will work out cheaper by almost 60% instead of the combination. (RS150-90). ## It should be okay to do so, as long as the dosages are the same, but it is always best to double check with your doctor to be sure. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and flatulence. Are you on any other medications?

Can metformin cause a charley horse in the legs? I started metformin 500mg 9 days ago and starting on the 8th day I began experiencing really bad leg cramps. ## Yes, the FDA does list muscle cramping as being a fairly common side effect of this medication, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, and stomach pain. Side effects are typically transient and should go away, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take about 4 to 5 weeks. Are you on any other medications?

Ihave been diabetic 2 for the last 10 years.I was prescribed Glipermide and Metformin.But it was suggested to stop Metformin as I had higher creatinine.Taking Insulin (Novomix 30) morning and evening plus Trajenta 5.I want to stop insulin suggest drugs ## You shouldn't stop the insulin, unless your doctor instructs you to do so. It is very important to keep your blood sugar under control, letting it get out of control can be very dangerous and possibly life-threatening, according to the AMA. Why do you want to stop the insulin? I am not sure what other medications are available for you that would be safe for you to take. Have you discussed it with your doctor?
