A member asked:
M58, started glucophage (metformin) 500 mg and norvasc 10 mg per day. have not passed stool from 36 hrs. could this be due to these medicines. thanks?

No: No, in fact, a common side effect of glucophage (metformin) is diarrhea. Let me suggest that a simple solution is to eat at least 1 cup of a high fiber cereal (Raisin Bran, Fiber One, All Bran) every day. Try to drink plenty of liquids too (avoid dehydration).
