Where can I find the TEVA Metformin 93 / 48? This works best for me. I live in Mobile, Alabama. Can anyone tell me the name of a pharmacy which dispenses this version?

Yes, the tablet with the 93 48 marking contains 500mgs of Metformin, which is an oral antidiabetic medication that's used to help lower and control blood sugar levels.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, hypoglycemia and flatulence.

And the tablet with the M 357 marking contains 5mgs of Hydrocodone and 500mgs of Acetaminophen, the active ingredients in Lortab, Norco, Vicodin and others.

This is a narcotic analgesic that has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Learn more Metformin details here and you can learn more Vicodin details here.


Another note that needs to be added here is that as of 2013, the FDA has made a request that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription products to no more than 325mgs per dose.

There are many concerns about the dangers of liver damage and failure that can be associated with long-term use of high amounts, as well as the toxicity of overdose.

Some manufacturers have already begun to implement the change and the rest are expected to have it completed by January of 2014. Thus, in the future, please double check and don't just assume that these tablets still contain 500mgs of Acetaminophen.

Are there any comments or concerns?
