A member asked:
Is jardiance 25mg and 50/500 sitaglip/metformin a good combination for diabetes 2. i also had bad diarrhea from metformin. should i be taking this medication together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have had bad diarrhea from metformin, I would prefer a higher dose of sitagliptin with jardiance 25 mg. Jardiance increases urine output and if metformin causes bad diarrhea, fluid deprivation may occur. Bad diarrhea is the most common cause of discontinuing metformin. Good luck!
