Metformin
The "GEN" on a metformin pill indicates that the medication is a generic version of metformin. Generic medications contain the same active ingredients as their brand-name counterparts and are considered bioequivalent, meaning they work the same way in the body. Metformin is commonly prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have questions about your medications.
i beleve this is metformin possibaly 750mg strength to treat sugar drop in the blood. my advice is bring the pil to a pharmisist.
what is the difference between metformin and metformin HCL
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)
Yes, there are generic versions of Janumet, which is a combination of sitagliptin and metformin. These generics contain the same active ingredients and are used to manage type 2 diabetes. However, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before switching to a generic option to ensure it’s appropriate for your treatment plan.
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
I am having problems with Zydus brand Metformin. I had been on Metformin by teva until recently when my insurance changed my drug company to Medco. I got the Metformin by Zydus. They did not work. My blood sugar went up and I started to have other symptoms. Since I had about 20 pills by teva left, I went back on that. Sure enough my blood sugar became normal again. So, I call Medco pharmacist and I was told to get my doctor to prescribe Metformin and specify that the generics have to come from teva. I also got 1 month supply from the Brand name, the original one, not generic. I am mailing the prescription and see what happens. I will keep you posted. Good luck! E. in Chicago
