Zyd Metformin

I too have taken 850 mg Zyd tabs dispensed from Walmart. My A1c went from 6.0 to 7.1 with no change in diet and exercise. They also have an odd taste. I just switched to 850 mg made by Sun dispensed from Medco/Express scripts and after 3 days my Glucose is now back to the 120's. For me I found Zyd ineffective. There are differences in the generics. If one brand doesn't work for you try another before you give up on Metformin altogether.

You are correct, there can be differences and that does make them less effective for some people.

You may want to double check in the future, when you get a refill, to make sure that you don't get the one from Zydus, again.

Is there anything I can help with?
