is it safe to take 5 metformin pills & 5 onglyza (saxagliptin) pills on 1 day and take a break for 5 days while fasting?

Question

Is it safe to take onglyza (saxagliptin) and metformin at the same time?

Answer 1

Absolutely not!: There is no rationale for taking metformin or Onglyza (saxagliptin) in that fashion and taking such large amounts all at once may lead to toxic side-effects.

Answer 2

Probably not good: The high dose on one day- may adversely affect blood glucose and the break of five days will throw the balance off completely.

Answer 3

TMJ disorder: A locked jaw is usually due to a temporomandibular joint that is injured or displaced. This could happen when you are ill from clenching too much, or a wide yawn if you already have aproblem with the joint. Go see an ent. If severe a few days of a steroid will help, then you may need an occlusion splint made by a dentist.

Answer 4

Remember...: Remember why you started in the first place and how much better you felt while doing it. Also, schedule it as an appointment. Even if you don't want to do it, do 10 minutes. You can always find 10 minutes. Right?

Answer 5

Visualize how you’ll: feel & look when you’re at your best. Think about what motivated you to lose weight in the first place. Insure calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water/day & 5 servings of veggies & 4 servings of fruit per/day. Eat whole grain. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Get a good mix of aerobic & weight lifting exercises.

Answer 6

Not your periods: Both menses sound normal being moody is likely related to other circumstances (husband, kids, job, money ?).

Answer 7

Inderal (propranolol): 20 mg. Is a low dose. Not sure how many times a day it is prescribed, but as long as you had no problems with your blood pressure, skipping one dose should be ok. Inform your doctor if any symptoms occur.

Answer 8

DC of Propranolol: There is no concern of tolerance with propranolol, like with a benzodiazepine, such as valium, so you should be okay. You may notice increased anxiety, though, and a possible rebound of symptoms, or elevated blood pressure. As with any such change, you should always discuss it with your physician first.

Answer 9

Should be seen: These are worrisome symptoms and duration of symptoms. This seems to have gone beyound the normal wait and see and it is now time for her to get professional advice nad assessment.
