Just got my Metformin ER 750 refilled. The pills look different... could be different manufacturer? One has 93 on one side and 7212 on the other. The other has 143 stamped on one side and nothing I can see on the other side. Help? ## Yes, they are both the same medication, a controlled release formulation of Metformin in a 750mg dosage. The one with the 93 is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals and the 143 is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals. It is common for the pharmacy to switch which generic they supply, depending on which company was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. It's how they keep their prices as low as possible for customers without insurance. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was prescribed with CLOPIDOGREL -PLAGERINE 7...

what is the osm type of metformin er can't find anything on it and my NP can't either except it costs very much ## OSM is used to designate it as being osmotic, it's used to make sure that you get a maximum extended/time released formulation of the medication. That's why it costs more, it's not a typical generic, because it doesn't have the usual leeway that they are allowed to have, it is tested more rigorously and adheres to much stricter release requirements. Is there anything else I can help with?

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...

Yes, it is just a different type of extended release, but you may need to ask your doctor to specifically prescribe the ER. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

I had my prescription filled and it says 500mg er tab amne, underneath was typed substituted for metformin 500 mg er tab wats, what's the difference ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, pharmacies should really be a bit more precise, but I'm happy to clear this up for you. :-) The only difference is the manufacturer, the original one was manufactured by Watson Pharmaceuticals, which is what the wats stands for and the new one is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals, as designated by the amne. Rather than saying it's a substitute, they should really have just put a notice on it that it is the same medication, but may look different than that which you'd received before.

Just given this pill from my old metformin with 7267 on back been having severe diarhea and wondering if anyone else reporting or something with pill change ## Hello, Karhy! How are you? There can be slight differences between generic mediations, according to the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984. So, this new one might have a little more of the active ingredient than the prior one that you were taking and thus, causing you more side effects. Diarrhea is a typical side effect of this medication, as listed by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, hypoglycemia and flatulence. Have you consulted your doctor?

by Teva, white oval pill, blank on one side and 142 printed on the other. Looks different than my previous pills, just want to double check. ## this was my post, found out that the pharmacy had the wrong manufacturer on the label. Mystery solved. Thanks! ## Pharmacies, unfortunately, do make mistakes, luckily in your case it was just something incorrect on the label and not something dangerous! :-) Metformin is an oral antidiabetic medication.

Anyone that has questions about their medication, should always consult with their Pharmacist they are a wealth of information. ## I have been taking metformin hcl 500 mg tab. My prescription looks different. The round white tablet has I45 on one side. Is this metformin hci 500? ## I'm taking Metformin Hcl Er 500mg tablet, and my husband i taking Metformin HCL 500mg tablet , is ther any different in the medication ## They are a wealth of information, or it may be better to say that they should be, because not all of them make themselves available to help customers with questions, especially in some of the larger chain stores that have a lot of customers. Enid, the ER designates yours as being a time released formulation and since there's no ER, SR, XR, CR or etc. listed with his...

What does HER stand for? ER is extended release. Pill bottle label reads Metformin HCL 1000 mg HER ## Hello, CJ! How are you? That is just the abbreviation for the name of the manufacturer.

Is there anything else I can help with? ## but there was a recall on Metformin with "ER " extended-release mine reads metformin 1000MG Tab HER so is that extended-release and if so wasn't it recalled with the 500 MG that was posted online?

What does above mean? The "7L" is imprinted on my pill along with "001", but the "description" on the label only says that "001" is imprinted?? Please help!! Thank you!! ## The tablet with the TL 001 marking is not Metformin. It is manufactured by Cadista and they list it as containing 4mgs of Methylprednisolone, which a steroid used to treat allergic reactions and immune disorders. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, fluid retention, nervousness, insomnia, acne, and weight gain. If you were supposed to receive Metformin to treat diabetes, someone has made an error and you should inform your pharmacy immediately. Are you diabetic?

I have some white oblong white tablets scored on one side and printed M525 on the other. I believe these are Ascend Labs Metformin HCL ER 500 mg tablets from a couple of months ago that I didnt finish up when I got my refill prescription. They also could be a different brand that the pharmacy used to fill my prescription. ## These tablets are manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they list them as containing 120mgs of Diltiazem. The FDA classifies this medication as a calcium channel blocker that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

Glucophage seems to be less likely to give me diarrhea and nausea. Are there any generic brands which have less side effects than Aurobindo Metformin? I lost a lot of weight on the generic to my chagrin because I was down to 83 lbs. ## Hello, Peanut! How are you? They all carry the risk of causing the same side effects, it is just a matter of finding one that works for you, without making you completely miserable, so it is basically trial and error. The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including dizziness, stomach pain, and flatulence. Which other ones have you tried?

Please note, however, that those inscriptions are tracked by the FDA and should be readily available when c...
