Long Oval White Pill With Ip 178

Is a round white pill with a "D" and a "12" indicate a 500 mg Metformin? ## Hello, Douglas! How are you? I believe the marking you're looking at is actually an A 12, the A is rounded and does look like a D if you hold the pill sideways. And yes, it is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma and they list it as containing 500mgs of Metformin. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Metformin ER 500 MG 24 HR TAB Oval printed on the pill IP 178

I got my Metformin refilled and I always have gotten the white oval tablet that has IP 178 on it. This time it is a large round pinkish beige color with M and then underneath that is MN2. Please let me know if this is a form of Metformin? ## Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500mgs of Metformin in a time released formulation. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?
