Allergic to this and Januvia. Took Glyb for only two days and broke out with the worst rash/itching that nothing could help manage; took two days to stop the horrid itch and rash spread. this is the two out of two D2 meds I have been allergic to.

Have been taking this for years. No side effects and has kept me from taking insulin. Very effective.

lyburide/Metformin. After taking the medication for 6 weeks I had gained 6 lbs in weight. Doctor says the Glyburide has caused this. Started out taking 1 x 2.5mg tab once a day now take half a tablet per day and weight has stabilised. Need to take more exercise to see full results.

I take it becuz I feel I have no other choice...I constantly fight flushing and muscle pains in my calves...Doc says "put up with it or use insulin" (I am light type2) My readings rise when I dont take it, but I feel better overall. I tried separating the glyburide (5mg) from the Metformin (500) but it just separated the way I get the flushing and pain. I've been looking for something better for oral use.

I was started out on glyburide/metformin 2.5/500 twice a day. I was having lows, so my doctor cut it down to once a day (with dinner). I still was experiencing severe lows, so he changed the medication to Metformin only (500) once a day (with dinner). The past week, even though there has been no change in diet and more exercise, my readings have been up from what they were before. I don't know if just the metformin alone is going to work. However, I have had no side effects, other than the lows, with the medication. I have read that many people experience stomach problems, but I have not had any.Read More Read Less
