I need to know about how many types of Metformin there are. When I take the metformin from Walgreen, it works perfect with Me, but when I tke the metformin bought at Prescrptions Solutions, bothers My stomect and give Me all kinds of digestic problems. The metformin I get from walgreen is G G MF3 the one from prescriptions Solutions is G45. I tihink, that this two medicins, though are the same name, they are not made the same way, there must be a difference betwenn the two of them.

All 3 of the mentioned tablets contain 1,000mgs of Metformin, an antidiabetic medication. The only difference is the manufacturer.

That said, the FDA does allow there to be a difference in the active ingredient of up to plus or minus 20%.

So, what may be happening, Arcadio, is that the ones you are getting from Prescription Solutions could actually contain more of the active ingredient than the one you are getting from Walgreens, this could explain why you are experiencing those side effects.

They can be normal side effects from this medication and if you take a higher amount, it would be normal to experience them, until your body adjusts to the medication.

I cannot list all the manufacturers, since there are far too many out there and this is a generic medication.

My suggestion, however, would be to just keep getting your medication through Walgreens, where you know you are getting tablets that work for you, without causing problems.

Is there some reason you cannot continue to do so?
