User Reviews for metformin oral

I have not experienced any negative reactions with this drug. I take it once a day after dinner.

I have Polycystic ovarian syndrome. This has helped me lose weight, and lower my insulin levels. I am very happy with the result.

been on this for about 1 month, blood sugars still not down where they need to be. Take 500mg 2x a day, watching what I eat and exercising. Feel fine, no side effects, just sugars still between 160-250.

experience extreme gas and indigestion after taking med.Extremely unconfortable.

850mg twice a day appears to provide a good balance of maintaining my Sugar levels around 6.5 along with exercise & diet.

suppose to start out with one 500 mg for two weeks ease into 2 pills> I started with 2 pills and was sick to the stomach ache. diarreha & vomiting.

Drug is touted as a cure all with many off label uses. It is a dangerous drug that should only be used under the supervision of a trained endrocrinologist.

This medication cause severe stomach problems. Since I started taking it I have been unbale to hold anything on my stomach and I have sharp pains in my stomach even after I stopped taking it.

Every time I take this medication, I get the chills, fever of 103-104 (adult), severe vomiting and this pill never dissolves in my system. I am going off this pill and will speak with my doctor about it. This is not normal- to be sick every day.

Does not lower my blood sugar very much, if at all

can metformin cause to have alcohol in a urine sample from a diabetic

I've been having problems with Amenorrhea for the past year or so, which concerned doctors of me having a higher rist of developing uterine cancer. After a couple of days of taking this drug, I finally started to shed that lining that was putting me in danger. MY doctor also said that it may help with my infertility, so I'm keeping my fingers crosse. Plus, I'm losing weight, which is NEVER a bad thing. I'm very satisfied.

i have been taking this drug for 2 days and i feel better already--do this medication make you lost weight?

This medication has lowered my blood sugar by a lot and helped me lose about 10 pounds in less than a year. The downside is that any little change in my diet makes me have diarrhea. I suppose the upsides outweigh the downsides, but it is very uncomfortable for me to have a spout of diarrhea when I'm at school or in public. It was really rough on my stomach when I started taking it. I would go through days feeling like I was on the verge of throwing up (I never did, thank goodness). It was sometimes so bad that I stayed home all day in bed.Read More Read Less
