There is something different about the Solco brand of Metformin. I know how to look up meds by numbers on the pill. Makes me sick. Too many side effects. H102 is a much better tab. Someone needs to check this pill's composition.

I have just started taking Baneazepril manufactured by Solco in China, and I feel loopy as all get out. It is certainly decreasing my bp, so no complaints on that front, but my balance is off, which is kind of a big deal. Also have muscle aches in my triceps and forearms since starting these pills Funny how when it was made in India, it really didn't work all that well, now that it is made in China, it works, but i get some of the bad side effects. hopefully my body will adjust.

Made in China. Sold by Solco LLC here in the USA. It did not work well for me. A little research said they have had some "possible" quality control issues and not just on the blood pressure medicine.

My experience with Solco Metformin was really terrible. I was taking 500mg twice a day for a year and a half, Mfr: Interpharm inc. (Japan I think) and lowered A1c from 6.2 without anything to 5.7 with Interpharm. After Costco switched to Solco my A1c jumped to 6.3 on the same 500mg twice daily. So does Metformin from India work? No! Caremark just sent another sub for Glucophage also from India but I called and told them I would not use it. Read Richard Bernstein's books on controlling Diabetes. He only prescribes the brand name Glucophage manufactured in the US to his patients. Why worn folks not to fill prescriptions from Canada to save $$ because they might be tainted having been made abroad and then sell those same suspicious drugs in US pharmacies? This makes no sense.

I too get Metformin, Solco from Publix, since they switch to this manufacturer my A1C is no longer under control and has continued to rise to near 8 (it was under 7). When I questioned Publix about it they told me that changing manufacturers would not have anything to do with my blood sugar steadily rising. Not sure about that so I will be transferring my prescription to another pharmacy that carries a different maf.

I obtain my Metformin meds at Publix. Since Publix changed to this manufacturer I noticed this med has a bad rotten odor to them... disgusting. I also noticed that since taking them, my body is reacting more -- with nausea, loose bowels and stomach cramping. How is this medication different from the one Publix was previously dispensing? Why the odor?
