Metformin Hcl 500mg Sa Tab Side Effects

what is the difference between metformin and metformin SA ## Hello, Gary! How are you? The SA stands for sustained action, it's just another way to designating it as being a time released formulation of the medication. The FDA classifies Metformin as being an oral antidiabetic medication and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, flatulence, diarrhea and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

Do you lose weight taking these pills ## Hello, Rod! How are you? Metformin has been known to aid in, or cause weight loss in some people that take it.

I take 100mg of the above Metformin 1 time a day with the evening meal. Sometimes the next morning I will notice the undesolved tablest in my stool, especially when I have diarrhea. What can I do to make sure my medication is disolving and taking effect. ## Hello, John! How are you? What you are seeing in your stool is just the outer shell, however, the medication is released and used by your body. Metformin actually tends to have a horrible odor, so some manufacturers use a special outer shell/coating, to prevent people from smelling it. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

My husband and I are both on Metformin but he takes the Er 500 and I take the Hcl Er 500? He still works and exercises but I'm retired on disability and unable to exercise much because of post polio problems. Does that make a difference in what we take? We do not have the same doctors. ## There is no difference, they are both the exact same thing.
