I am taking Insulin (Novomox 50:50) and taking Reclide + Lindagliptin 5mg at morning. At noon I am taking Vogilbose combined with Metformin, and at night again Insulin + Reclide. Since last 4 months I have been suffering with allergic pimples in buttocks, groin, joint and head. For that, I have been taking medicines from the dermatologist but the same symptoms are recurring. Unable to find the reasons. Wondering whether these are due to meds or other reasons? Please guide me.

Heritage brand Metformin did not work for me, but I took it for months and developed blisters around the outside of my mouth which is not herpes. Now back on Ascend Metformin and it is working for me. The blisters and inflammation are lessening but not completely gone. Has anyone had this problem and know what it is and how to treat it? ## My blood sugar numbers were very high when I was on Amneal and Heritage brand Metformin. My eyesight was affected and I had inflammation and blisters around my mouth. I am now on Ascend Metformin and my blood sugar is way down between 73 and 107. The inflammation is slowly going away and the blisters are lessening. I live in SoCal and can't get help from the manufacturer or the pharmacies. I filed a complaint with the FDA and a grievance with my i...

What does above mean? The "7L" is imprinted on my pill along with "001", but the "description" on the label only says that "001" is imprinted?? Please help!!

So where can I go to get my prescription filled? ## where is teva metformin walgreens is where I get mine

I was diabetic 2 and in the beginning prescribed Glipermide and Metformin but later it was suggested Metformin is not suitable if Uric acid is 1.5 or more, I had to stop it and was taking Glyciphage G1 but did not control sugar. I was suggested to take Insulin (First Insulatard and then Novomix 30) and Trajenta 5. This helped in controlling sugar to some extent. But some times I had spurt of FBS and RBS. PlS suggest any recent medicine for Diab 2 ## Does novamix 30 works better with metmorfin or with glimpride since I discussed with people they shared it works better results

Sir, Can daily usage of Pioz-75 lead to hypoglycemia? Is metformin 250 mg safer than Pioz-75? ## There is no way to say that one is safer than the other, it really depends on which one works best for you, without making you sick or causing undesirable side effects. As reported by the NIH, both of them could cause hypoglycemia as a side effect, others may include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, and flatulence. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was on Metformin for 25 years. Dr told me to stop using it switch to Gilpizide because I am 80 years old. Apparently it could take you out in that age group. Cold turkey, I had severe chills for a couple of days accompanied by muscle and joint pains and a headache. Day 10 was somewhat improved as far as chills go. I am hanging in there with the glipizide Dose that was doubled. But the glucose level is still high. DDose that was doubled edzide ## Experiencing withdrawal effects is normal when you stop a medication cold turkey, after being on it for so many years, according to the NIH. It is likely also coupled with side effects from starting the new one, so a kind of double whammy. The FDA lists the side effects of Glipizide as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pa...

Glucophage seems to be less likely to give me diarrhea and nausea. Are there any generic brands which have less side effects than Aurobindo Metformin? I lost a lot of weight on the generic to my chagrin because I was down to 83 lbs. ## Hello, Peanut! How are you? They all carry the risk of causing the same side effects, it is just a matter of finding one that works for you, without making you completely miserable, so it is basically trial and error. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, stomach pain, and flatulence. Which other ones have you tried?

To all that are suffering from diarrhea from taking 2000!mg of Metformin someone posted taking Metamucil every morning to elieviate this problem and I gave a try and it worked beautifully for me It's been 3 months since I have had an issue.This may not work for everyone ,but you have nothing to lose.I tried a small container of a store brand and it had great results.One heaping teaspoon in a 8oz glass of water every morning.I really hope this works for everyone. ## Diarrhea can be a normal side effect of Metformin, according the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain, and hypoglycemia. Metamucil contains fiber, so it may also cause diarrhea, so while it may help some, results could be different for others. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having with it.
