i started taking a strip of metformi 500 because i want to get pregnant,a couple days after i notice i had a burning sensation when passing urine so i went to the doctor who then said i have uti and she prescribed norilet 400mg but the burnig is still here so am wondering if metformin is anyway responsible. ## No, that isn't something that Metformin is known to cause. Learn more Metformin details here. It is likely a UTI as your doctor stated and you may need to return for another antibiotic if the one that was prescribed hasn't worked. Learn more Norilet details here. Are there any other questions or comments? ## Over the years I would occasionally have moments where I needed to urinate but not much at all came out and it was accompanied by a burning sensation. I've been pr...

I took a Metformin ER 500mg today for the first time but I cut it in half because I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to. I took the first half and then saw that I was supposed to take it whole so I took the other half. I'm just wondering if I'm in any danger? ## Since it is time released tablet, you could get too much of the medication at once, so you will need to watch for the signs of low blood sugar, which could include: dizziness, drowsiness, tremors and fainting. You may want to make sure you have something sweet on hand that can bring it up, fast, such as a small glass or orange juice and then, when feeling better, a sandwich or something to help keep it up longer. Are there any other questions? ## how long / how many hours does metformin ER act? ## AJJAx, they s...

I too have received a similar email "talk video" on this same topic. Only, it is from a British (U.K.) based outfit, but with exactly the same format as the HSI one that is being mentioned throughout the discussions here. It is being narrated by a "Rachael Linkie", "Managing Director", supposedly of the "Journal of Natural Health Solutions", and the subject title is..."7 Riskiest Drugs Big Pharma Wants You To Swallow". In it, is also the mention by name, of DBX-13, as the Diabetes Miracle Cure, along with a few other medical conditions and their appropriate natural cures like, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, dementia, etc..

I am 19 years old. I have been taking FORMITOL (contains metformin) since my doctor told me that I have PCOS. Recently, I consulted another Gynae, she prescribed me Krimson 35 saying that I have normal GTT level, so I don't need to take metformin. I haven't started taking Krimson 35 as i haven't got my periods yet. My breast are large. I am afraid that it may enlarge my breasts even more. I have severe acne and hirsutism too. I am not able to loose weight despite exercising and dieting. Can you tell me whether this tablet will help me in curing acne and loosing weight? And what effect will it have on breasts and other parts of my body? ## This is an oral contraceptive tablet, so yes, it may help to rebalance your hormones, which might resolve your problems.

I have not had a cycle since having my son a year ago. I also have PCOS. I have taken 5mg Norethisterone tablets 3 times a day for 5 days. It has been 3 days now and although I had period pains on the last day of the tablets I have no signs of my period arriving. Do you think my dose was high enough? Many thanks. ## Hello, Lucy! How are you? Is that the dose your doctor advised you to take? Generally, missing your periods isn't a problem, unless you're trying to get pregnant again, so it's not anything to worry about. However, most women do get their periods about 3 days, or so, after stopping it. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Are you on any other medications? ## I also take metf...

My husband and I are both on Metformin but he takes the Er 500 and I take the Hcl Er 500? He still works and exercises but I'm retired on disability and unable to exercise much because of post polio problems. Does that make a difference in what we take? We do not have the same doctors. ## There is no difference, they are both the exact same thing. The HCL just designates it as a hydrochloride salt and in one instance it was included in the wording, in the other it was left off. This is an oral antidiabetic agent. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and low blood sugar.

There are times when I forget to take the medicine before breakfast or dinner. Is it okay to take it after meals? ## Galvusmet 50/500 when can i take this medicine before breakfast & before dinner ## Galvusmet 50/500 when i take this medicine before breakfast & before dinner ## It is best to take it before a meal, that way it has time to start working, when you are digesting your food, and will likely experience the most blood sugar fluctuations.

Diabetis Mellitus type-II, osteoarthritis, on antidiabetic drug-glimipride- metformin composition and Sammy-200mg for osteoarthritis. Can Ecosprin be administered and will there be any drug interference? If any intereference, then what to be done? ## Ecosprin AV contains Aspirin and Atorvastatin, it is used as a blood thinner and to help lower cholesterol. And I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between taking it with the antidiabetic medications Glimepiride and Metformin, but you should check with your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain. As to the Sam-E, that is a nutritional supplement, not an actual medication, so it hasn't been checked for interactions with medications, thus I have no information on it, but would suggest checking with your doctor.

So about a year ago I was prescribed Metformin because my doctor diagnosed me as pre-diabetic (she also said it would help with my PCOS as well). If I had known she was going to do a spot check on me that morning, I wouldn't have eaten cold pizza for breakfast. Anywho, since then I have been taking 500mg Metformin every night. I had lost 30 pounds with diet and exercise and she said I could stop taking it. Well, I didn't stop and continued taking it. A couple months ago, I decided I would stop taking Metformin and see how everything would be. I soon developed a belly button yeast infection (gross!), I just felt...like crap. But my bloodsugar was normal the entire time. Maybe the belly button thing was a coincidence, who knows. When I stopped the Metformin, I would wake up to a n...
