you take it with food or right before you eat, and drink plenty of water.... good luck!
yes
what is the difference between metformin and metformin HCL
Metformin ER (extended-release) and metformin HCl (hydrochloride) are not exactly the same. Metformin HCl is the active ingredient in both formulations, but Metformin ER is designed to release the medication slowly over time to help maintain consistent blood levels. This allows for once-daily dosing compared to immediate-release metformin, which is typically taken multiple times a day.
No. Metformin is used by type II diabetics for their blood sugar. I am not aware of any analgesic effect from metformin.
janumet is a combination of metformin and januvia in one tablet. metformin and janumet both treat diabetes.
I m pregnant,having UTI.and on baseline tests DM/GDM diagnosed accidentally.can I take metformin alongwith amoxil
Yes. Metformin hydrochloride is the full generic or chemical name, but it is commonly just called "metformin" to make things simpler. HCl is the chemical abbreviation for hydrochloride. Metformin HCl is the same drug as "Glucophage" (the brand name)
Metformin
Metformin is thought to make the body more sensitive to insulin, so that there is less need to overproduce your own insulin. How it does this is not really known. Metformin also is thought to reduce gluconeogenesis, the process whereby your liver can synthesize glucose. It's principal mechanism is to make the body use existing insulin more efficiently, which does result in lower glucose levels for type II diabetics. However, Metformin is being studied as a Caloric Restriction mimetic in normal people. In this case, glucose levels would not necessarily be lowered, however insulin secretion will be lowered. Caloric restriction is the process of slowing aging through reduced energy intake. Some of the markers of this include reduced serum insulin levels. Since this is the purpose of Metformin, studies are underway to see if metformin slows aging. Research on nematodes and rats shows metformin does increase lifespan in these animals. Metformin can cause lactic acidosis in patients with poor renal function.
metformin reach peak ef fect after 2-4 days
I have never seen Metformin 500mg with an A imprinted on it only the 500
No it does not.
