Glucophage Forums (Page 2)

My doctor originally prescribed Diamicron (60m) for my Type II diabetes but, more recently, my specialist prescribed Glucephage. What are the differences please? ## Diamicron contains the active ingredient Gliclazide, so it was a different medication than the Metformin in the Glucophage. If you didn't have good control of your blood sugar levels, your specialist might have wanted to switch you to this, because many people get very good results from it. However, it may cause side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, stomach pain and flatulence. More details: Are there any other questions?

Teva glucophage metformin odor problem ## What type of odor are you referring to? Something from the person being treated with it or from the medication? If it is from the person being treated, it could be Lactic Acidosis, which can be quite dangerous and they should see their doctor immediately or go to the nearest emergency treatment facility. If you are referring to the medication itself, then it is normal for it to have an odor. Depending on the manufacturing process, it can be much more noticeable from some tablets.

I've been hearing stories about people over 40 in the US taking metformin as an anti-ageing strategy. My source is pretty informal, though, and I've been wondering if anyone here knows more about it. How much are people taking? And what for, exactly? Thanks to everyone, James ## There is an interesting article on this which I have in my favorites titled 'An Effective and Underappreciated Life Extension Drug' It can be viewed at Personally I haven't ever tried using it but have always been interested in this topic as well.
