What Does 1 Gm Mean

I was taking Glycomet SR 1 gm 1 tab daily with result that my blood sugar remained - fasting 80-90 and PP 130-140. But for last few months I am taking 2 tab per day and the blood sugar is not comming down from 115 fasting and PP 145-150. Whether I have become immune to the drug? ## IT is possible, but no one can really say, without knowing your medical history as well as your diet habits. Even if you are taking a medication like this, it still doesn't mean you can just eat whatever you want and expect it to lower your blood sugar to normal. You still have to follow a low-fat, low-sugar diet to help control your sugar levels. Are you doing this? I'm asking, because you don't actually become immune to a drug, you build up a tolerance to it and raising the dosage usually helps ...

I am now taking GLIZID 80 mg two tabs twice a day and Glycoment 850mg one tab twice a day plus Acarbose 50 mg twice a day. Now doctor advises me to take Glycomet 1gm in place of Glycomet 850gm . I find that Gycomet 1mg is in the XR form. How much metformin does Glycomet 1gm contain? What is the benefit of switching over to Gycomet 1gm (Extended Release)? Would it help more than Metformin 850gm (Regular)? Moreover, no metformin tablet 1gm without being in SR/XR form is vailable in the market. Kindly advise ## Is there any difference between glycomet 1gm and glycomet Sr 1gm. Doctor has prescribed me glycomet Sr 1gm but it is not available in the market. Only glycomet 1gm is available. Can I take glycomet 1gm instead of glycomet 1gm Sr? ## The XR/SR designation means that it is time releas...

I have dark black spots on face caused by burning. can i use lobate gm neo to remove spots ## I have to many pimples in my face ## Can I use lobate gm neo 15m on my face for pimples and acne? Does it have any side effect? Thanks! ## Lobate-GM is listed as containing Clobetasol, which is a type of steroid. Thus, that means it may actually worsen some skin conditions, such as acne, because it can actually cause it, as a side effect. Other possible side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include skin dryness, redness and irritation. Taani, it isn't likely that it will help those dark spots, either. Have you consulted a dermatologist? ## Hello sir, I am staying in gulf. Here the weather is too hot. My age is 44. I have pigmentation problem since long time. Another problem is i have dark...

What is this used for? How long can it be used before trying something else? ## Hello, Ann! How are you? I'm sorry, but from the information you've listed, I can't tell you anything about this product, other than that it's used topically to treat pain, hence the musculo and ortho. However, without knowing the actual ingredients, I can't tell you more. The cmp stands for compounded, meaning that this is something specially created for you, according to your doctor's orders, by a speciality compounding pharmacy. However, there is no universal list of ingredients that I can refer to, it can vary from area to area and from doctor to doctor. Are there any other details listed?

I had shingles in my head and part of my face ner eye area I started taking 75 Gm twice a day then I took it once a day, and now I am taking 25 Gm twice a day, I want to stop it. ## In my opinion, such a low dose. Try one 25 gm a day for a few days and then nothing. ## I can only assume you didn't mean grams, gm, but rather mgs, as in milligrams. Can you please post back and clarify? At such a low dose, there should not be any need to taper. The FDA warns that the typical withdrawal effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea, fever, and chills. ## Hi, I have been tapering from 2x75mg a day for 5weeks then dropped to 2x50mg, now on 2 weeks of 1x25mg then stop all together. Reading horror stories about withdrawal. How did you cope with just stopping when you go...

Is it normal for a doctor to switch me from oxy 10/325 to Methadone 20 GM's a day? I have severe back pain and the oxy wasn't working anymore after being in it for 6 years! ## Hello, Chrissy! How are you? Did you mean 20mgs of Methadone? It does not come in grams. There is no hard and fast rule for pain management, it is up to your doctor and what they think would work best for you. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. If you're not happy about taking Methadone, then you are free to inform your doctor that you'd like to try something else. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was strolling through and found this question.. sometimes ...

Does Voltaren contain gabapentin? My bottle says 50 Gm NP Gel. It says under it Diclofenac NA+Dextromethorphan+Gabapentin+Amitriptylyne+Nifedipine: 4 percent. So would this be considered Voltaren Gel and does this mean it contains all of those drugs? Would it be safe to take with Ibprophen, Methadone, and Oxycodone if prescribed together? I can't each my doctor. ## Hello, Bella! How are you? What you've described with that list of ingredients is a special compounded product that you're doctor has ordered for you. These are usually used topically and ordered according to your doctor's experience of what has worked for other patients. So yes, it does contain those medications and the FDA lists the most common side effects as being related to its topical use, so they may in...

I have been using Jevity 1.5 cal with PEG tube. This past week, my stomach has not been accepting well. I get cramps similar to food poisoning. I also experience feeling extremely cold then clammy... I need a heating pad to keep me warm. I experience 3 -4 hours of discomfort after each feeding which means, am sick all day. Any suggestions? ## Have you consulted with your doctor? They are really the only person that is going to be able to help discover the answer to this dilemma and find a solution. There may be an ingredient in the Jevity that doesn't agree with you, perhaps you're sensitive to it, or allergic. ## Perhaps it's the cheap ingredients and GMO s that keep company profits high and people sick! ## I suspect that Jevity is causing lots of mucus is there a substitut...

I'm trying to wean myself off the Fentanyl patch. I went from 75 micro-gms to 50 now I'm on 25. Having a problem and not sure it is related to the decrease in the med. It's been 20 days on the 25 micro-gm and I'm going crazy. I need to keep rocking, moving in any way b/c my body is very restless. Is this a symptom of withdrawal and what do I do? I cannot take it any more. ## Yes, that can be caused by withdrawal, you probably jumped down in dosage a little too fast. This med is very, very strong, 80 times stronger than Morphine and it has a half-life of 17 hours, so that means once you take off the patch, it takes 17 hours until it has dwindled to 50% off the full dose in your body, then it slows and actually takes 3 or 4 days before it is all out of your system. So if y...

peach colored pill ## peach color pill that has ALVA on one side ## There are several prescription pills that carry the Alva marking, since it is the logo for a prescription drug company. Can you please provide more details, are there any other markings on the pill, such as other letters or numbers and what is the shape of the pill? The color of a pill actually means nothing when it comes to identifying prescription drugs, and colors themselves are subjective to who is viewing them, so in order to identify this, I will need any additional information you can provide.
