I'm 27 years old. I have suffered with urinary tract infections for 10 years. My doctor prescribed me levofloxacin (glevo) 500mg and I got free of the infection for 3 months and it's now back. Should I reuse the drug? ## Only if your doctor instructs you to do so. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Have you explored why are getting so many infections? Are you on any medications? Do you make sure to wipe from front to back? ## Can u use glevo 500mg for cyst in the ovary and womb to be srink

for fever given in India ## Glevo 500mg usage and other issues ## Sorry, foreign medications are not regulated like US prescription drugs, so therefore it is very hard to find information on them. On top of that, sometimes drugs under the same name as something sold in the US can have a different active ingredient elsewhere, because the FDA can only regulate and make sure information is provided for drugs legally available in the US. ## Glevo is Levofloxacin tablets.

Please let me know whether it is alright to take 2.5mg of glyburide in the morning and 500 mg metformin at night ## Hello, Ana! How are you? Has your doctor prescribed them both and instructed you to take them at those times? Both Metformin and Glyburide are oral antidiabetic medications, so they shouldn't be taken unless your doctor has prescribed them for you and, if your doctor has prescribed them, you should take them according to the instructions they've provided you.

In some cases, where someone's blood sugar is out of control, more than one medication may be prescribed to help gain better control.

How does this pill work? I am the caretaker for my mom who has type 2 diabetes. Sometimes, when she stays home because she does not feel like attending the daycare she is reluctant for me to call the home health agency to come and inject her insulin which is at 13 units per day. I have had incidents where she has raised BSL close to 600 range and I start panicking !! Is this pill fast acting? the issue with my mum is that she won't eat same amounts day to day. So, I have to be constant monitoring the blue pill intake. I worry she might have a stroke when showing this BSL. She always says she feels fine when it happens but I believe the inside of her body is the one in danger. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated. Thank you.... ## Well, one solution would be to learn how to i...

I took a Metformin ER 500mg today for the first time but I cut it in half because I didn't know that I wasn't supposed to. I took the first half and then saw that I was supposed to take it whole so I took the other half. I'm just wondering if I'm in any danger? ## Since it is time released tablet, you could get too much of the medication at once, so you will need to watch for the signs of low blood sugar, which could include: dizziness, drowsiness, tremors and fainting. You may want to make sure you have something sweet on hand that can bring it up, fast, such as a small glass or orange juice and then, when feeling better, a sandwich or something to help keep it up longer. Are there any other questions? ## how long / how many hours does metformin ER act? ## AJJAx, they s...

I take 2 tablets in the morning at breakfast and 2 tablets at dinner time. I was advised recently to test my sugar 2 hours after each meal for beakfast, lunch and dinner. They said it should be under 140. I can not get under 141 after breakfast, it is usually around 220. Two hours after lunch it is usually below 140, even though i do not take any tablets at lunch. I have tried taking the tablets 1 hour before i eat breakfast and the results are closer to 140. The only time i show bad results is at breakfast. Can you explain whe i should take the tablets?
