white oval pill scored with 93 on one side and 7214 on the other ## Checked with the pharmacist and it is Metformin HCL 1000mg (Teva) generic for Glucophage ## My metformin 1000. Some stamped with 13. 2. Some stamped with 1 47 what's the difference? ## Yes, Teva Pharmaceuticals lists the tablet with 93 7214 on it as containing 100mgs of Metformin, which is most commonly used to help lower blood sugar levels. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Karen, while I have been able to find a 1,000mg tablet with 132 on it, I cannot find any with 147 on it. Are there any other markings on the tablet in question, or possibly a logo?

What is the name for Metformin HCL ER TAB 500mg ER in Mexico? ## I can't say for certain, but from what I could gather, Metformina (Glucophage XR) is the correct name for this in Mexico. Are you trying to order it online? ## Similar to your other question, once again, I have to advise you that it's best to just ask for the generic. The regulation of medications in Mexico is very sketchy, at best, so what may be available as a brand name for it today might not exist tomorrow and etc. However, the Spanish names that they use for the generic/active ingredient are usually very similar to what we use in the U.S. and that should enable you to find what you need. Learn more Metformin details here. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you very much, I appreciate this informa...
