I'm a patient with PCOS and have been taking krimson-35 for the last 2.5 years. Recently I have stopped taking krimson-35 because I want to conceive. So I would like to know if I can take metformin for my PCOS, and if so, can I continue using it during my pregnancy?

I want ti know if the tablet Melmet 500 mg can cause dry cough ## Melmet is a brand name from India for the medication Metformin, commonly sold in the US under the name Glucophage. This is an antidiabetic drug, used to help lower blood sugar. Referring to your question, the answer is no. The most common adverse effect of metformin is gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and increased flatulence. The most serious potential side effect of metformin use is lactic acidosis; this complication is very rare, and the vast majority of these cases seem to be related to comorbid conditions such as impaired liver or kidney function, rather than to the metformin itself. You can read more about this medication here: Please post back if you have any other questions or c...

I have recently found out that my sugar level in my blood is 170. Took a zpack streroids for plantars facia, 60 days ago. Began taking metFORMIN 40 days ago. Also have hypoglycemia (take levothyroxine 150mcg). Also have arthritis take sulfasalazine, plaquenal and mobic. I am male, 52 yrs old, 30 to 40 pds overweight. Is it possible the blood count is still high from taking the steroids? Should I expect it to go back to normal in any certain time? Feel like dr.s are overreacting to level of sugar in my blood. ## A Z-Pack doesn't contain steroids, it contains the antibiotic Azithromycin and that shouldn't upset your blood sugar levels. It is also doubtful that a steroid would still have an effect on them 60 days later. And Hypglycemia is high blood sugar/diabetes and wouldn't ...

I'm a diabetic and i want to know if metformin can make you have an overactive bladder to the point where you lose control of your bladder at night and wet the bed? ## That is more likely due to the diabetes itself, and not the medication, according to NIH reports. The FDA lists the typical side effects of the medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, and hypoglycemia. Have you been checking your blood sugar? What have you levels been, recently? What types of foods do you eat? Are you on any other medications?

Is a round white pill with a "D" and a "12" indicate a 500 mg Metformin? ## Hello, Douglas! How are you? I believe the marking you're looking at is actually an A 12, the A is rounded and does look like a D if you hold the pill sideways. And yes, it is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they list it as containing 500mgs of Metformin. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Metformin ER 500 MG 24 HR TAB Oval printed on the pill IP 178

Hello all. I'm having a situation. I'm 46 and I'm a diabetic. I take several different medications including metformin 1000 mgs 2× day, Lisinopril 20 mgs 1× day, Tradjenta 5 mgs 1× day, Glipizide 5 mgs 1× day and also a 500 mg Naproxen on occasion along with Suboxone 8/2 mg (×2) 1× a day. I now have issues of not maintaining an erection suitable for intercourse, also seemingly low libido. Not that I'm not interested but can't get "into" it so to speak, possibly from anxiety rising from a fear of not performing. I have some dribbling issues when urinating to. Am I in need of an ED medication, testosterone, or possibly a prostate exam? Please help me out. This is a very sensitive subject.

Is there a difference between SANDOZ 1 and just SANDOZ with 7L 001 imprinted on it. One month I'm given one then another month I'm given the other. I take METFORMIN ER 500 twice a day! The last two months I have been feeling low energy, higher BS, headaches, depression, horrible dreams!

I am type 2 dm since 10 yrs on metformin 1gm-glymepride 1mg bd filling some neuropathy symptoms n suger control is not so good ## According to NIH reports, both sugars and fats in your diet can affect your blood sugar levels. What types of foods do you eat? Do you keep your intake of both as low as possible? Fats tend to coat the cells and prevent them from absorbing the sugars needed for energy, so elevated amounts of it may remain in your blood. Have you considered trying insulin to see if it provides you with better control? How much exercise do you usually get each day?
