Glycomet Side Effects Kidney

My sugar level has suddenly gone up to more than 400. After taking metformin 500mg 3 tablets a day, still it does not go down below 200. So I tried glycomet GP2 two tablets per day. I found slight improvement within a day - i.e. it has come down to 130. Shall I continue it?

It can cause side effects, just as any other medication can, they may include: nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Learn more Metformin details here and Glimepiride details here.

I take 3 in a day; level is 160. in the long useage any effects on kidney? Or any other problems? ## There are always risks associated with the use of any medication, but what you have to remember is that the risk of organ damage and suffering permanent health problems is far greater, if you were to let your diabetes get out of control. Glycomet contains the active ingredient Metformin and it may cause some side regular side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. The 160 is still a little high, how long have you been taking it? Have you consulted your doctor?

Is any adverse effect of glycomet gp 2 forte on kidney function reported ! ## It is possible, other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, stomach pain, and hypoglycemia, according to the NIH. However, letting diabetes rage out of control is far, far more dangerous, so you should take it, if your doctor has instructed you to do so, and just make sure to keep all follow up appointments and have all blood work done to check kidney function, as they deem appropriate. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking glycomet gp1 forte for 20 days, but I feel very hungry. Since it is an antibiotic medicine would it create any kidney problems? ## This is not an antibiotic, this is an antidiabetic that is used to help lower and control blood sugar levels. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, diarrhea, and hypoglycemia. Have you been diagnosed with diabetes? Do you have a kidney problem? Uncontrolled diabetes could cause hunger. How often do you check your blood sugar levels?

How are you? Tazloc is not used to treat diabetes.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. How long PP are you getting this reading?
