Glycomet 850

What is difference between Glycomet gp3/850 and Glycomet Gp3 forte ## Hello, Sudhir! How are you? From what I've found there is no difference, they both contain the same amounts of Metformin and Glimepiride. The U.S. FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking glycomet St 850 for the past 3months now my sugar levels are under control are there any side effects of this tab .I am feeling physical my little weak have constipation and less active what is the reason pls let me know if I should still continue the same dosage. ## Hello, Chettiar! How are you? What are you current sugar levels? Those symptoms can sometimes be due to them being too low. However, there is also a chance that your body just needs time to adjust to lower sugar levels. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, stomach pain and hypoglycemia.

Hi, I've been taking Glycomet 850 Sr for the past 4 months after dinner.... In the morning after a brisk walk I begin feeling headaches.... Why is this so? ## Hello, Shan! How are you doing? Has there been any change? Have you ever checked your blood sugar, when you experience the headaches? If you're taking a brisk walk in the morning and haven't eaten much yet, or if it is very soon after eating, your blood sugars could be dropping too low, which may explain the headaches. The U.S. FDA does list that as being a possible side effect of hypoglycemia.

I have had diabetes type 2 since 1968 off and on till about 10 years ago. I have it regularly now and I am 79yrs old. I am taking Glucovance 500/2.5mg regularly. Please, what is your advice on Glycomet 850? ## Diabetes isn't a disease that you can have off an on, you either have it, or you don't. It may be under better control sometimes, but if you have it, you always have it. As to the medications, which one has your doctor advised you to take? What are your current sugar levels? The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia.

Hi. I am a 54 yr old indian female diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I am on glycomet 3\850 before meals. My fasting, before lunch and random are 109 ff, 100 before lunch and 167 random. My concern is after walking for 40 minutes and a moderate breakfast veg, my pp is always high 157 - 200. Where am I going wrong? Kindly help. ## This medication should be taken, just before a meal, so that it is working by the time you are digesting your food and will experience the most fluctuations. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence, and diarrhea. Do you watch your diet to make sure you don't eat a lot of sugary or fatty foods?

I am a male 67. I take glycomet 850 twice a day. I am type 2 from past 28 years. Dosage increased from 250 to 850 over a period of time. I am having erectile dysfunction from past 3 years. Now it is total. I need help to over come this. ## Actually, the erectile dysfunction is most likely due to the diabetes and not the medication you take to treat it. Diabetes is very well known to cause it and many men end up needing treatment for it. Have you informed your doctor? What are your usual blood sugar readings? Do you watch your diet to minimize your sugar and fat intake? The typical side effects of Glycomet, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence and hypoglycemia. ## It can also be due to stress or can be several reason behind it and unfortu...

From what I've read it's a good product for infertility. Metformin is an oral antidiabetic drug in the biguanide class. It is the first-line drug of choice for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, in particular, in overweight and obese people and those with normal kidney function. However, I've read that it is sometimes prescribed to help women with infertility issues. Siphene is used to treat infertility in women who are not o...
