Question 1

can i take plexus slim with metformin?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Plexus slim contains a set of ingredients that are unproven, may not have any effect, and do not have  large pharmacologic effectiveness, so they are unlikely to interfere with the action of metformin.

Question 2

i am currently taking metformin and spirolactone. will i have a bad reaction if i sibutramine along with the medication i am taking? what will occur?

Accepted Answer

???: Silbutramine was taken off the market in most of the civilized world several years ago because of cardiac concerns. Why are you still receiving it?

Question 3

primary dr. has stop diabetes meds as humline, acto's, metformin i had reaction to them, said just do diet & exercise but sugar is 180 advice please.

Accepted Answer

What's A1c?: Hi. If you're A1c is in the 6's on just diet and exercise, then as long as it stays there, you're probably OK; but it almost never does. The meds you list are NOT the only options for type 2! There are many other drug options. If your A1c is in the 7's or higher, I suggest you see someone who does diabetes as a specialty and get fine-tuned. Eat healthily and exercise regardless. Good luck!

Question 4

m58, is it fact that once used metformin, the body looses the normal function of utilizing insulin and on discontinuation higher readings would result?

Accepted Answer

Not true: No- multiple medications are avaialble to control high blood sugars.

Question 5

is my 1.24 creatinine level bad? i am a diabetic on metformin.

Accepted Answer

No: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, creatinine level of 1.24 is not bad. Do work on keeping your blood sugar under control through diet, exercise and medication.
Wish you good health.

Question 6

accidentally took one of my dad's metformin pills. im not diabetic. is this bad or harmless?

Accepted Answer

No but do not repeat: you will be OK try to drink a cup of orange juice .
the nice thing about metformin VS other diabetes medication, it does not cause severe hypoglycemia.
make sure it does not happen again.

Question 7

is is bad that metformin gives me diarrhea during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Common side effect: Diarrhea is a very common side effect of metformin. Best to reduce dose to level that doesn't cause diarrhea, usually seen as you titrate up the dose over the first couple of weeks. Should discuss your physician either way.

Question 8

are there any known reactions, particularly in absorption, when taking suboxone and metformin er?

Accepted Answer

No: They are compatible with no interactions. Good luck on your recovery.

Question 9

if you have bad diarrhea shall i miss my next dose as don't want to have diarrhea at work while taking metformin?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Generally if pts have bad diarrhea with metformin i will have them cut the dose down by half and see if it resolves.

Question 10

i use victoza (liraglutide) needed a add. med is glimpizide or glimpiride a good combo? i tried metformin,invokana gave me bad g.i. issues which to try?

Accepted Answer

You can use: A sulfonylurea like glipizide or glimepiride along with Victoza (liraglutide)(GLP-1 agonist), particularly if you are metformin intolerant.  An alternative would be adding insulin to your Victoza (liraglutide).  Or an even less favorable alternative would be adding a thiazolidinediones like pioglitazone to your Victoza (liraglutide).
