Side Effects Of Glb/metform

I have been taking this medication for two years. I'm a vegetarian and the 500mg is too strong. It's makes me dizzy. Therfore, I cut it up in four pieces. I asked my doctor to lower the mg but he refuses. My blood sugar reading is excellent. Should I continue to take this medication?

Dizziness can be a normal side effect of Glyburide with Metformin, along with nausea, headache, and hypoglycemia.

You should continue to take it, until your doctor says otherwise, because it could be the only thing keeping your sugar levels at excellent readings.

If you aren't sure, however, you are always free to see another doctor for a second opinion.

Do you make sure to take it, when eating?
