Metformin Hcl Er Osm

metformin hcl er osm

Metformin ER costs about $10. Metformin OSM is $800 my prices. Will ER work as well as OSM? ## Hello, Sandra! How are you? 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?

Metformin vs Fortament

Dr ordered Metformin HCL ER 24hr 500mG (OSM) and the mail order pharmacy is sending Fortamet.500mG Is there a difference between what the Dr ordered and the generic Metformin HCL ER 24 ?.......I know that Fortamet is a brand and costs much more than the generic.Metformin HCL ER 24 hrs.......Waht does the (OSM) indicate? ## The Fortamet is the same as what your doctor prescribed, it is just a name brand, rather than a generic. Learn more Metformin details here. From what I can find, the OSM stands for Osmotic, it is used to stress that you get a maximized extended release version, which is what the Fortamet is. Are there any other questions or comments?
