Metformin is the acive ingredient in Cetapin. It is the first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, particularly in overweight and obese people and those with normal kidney function, and evidence suggests it may be the best choice for people with heart failure.

Have been taking Cetapin 1 gm daily for over two months. Ever since then I have been either constipated or have had stomach upset... vomitting followed later by watery loose motions... I wish to know whether it is due to Cetapin or is it because of Allegra 180 mg which also I am taking daily for skin rashes...

Vomiting is listed as a possible side effect of Metformin (the active ingredient in Cetapin).

"The most common adverse effect of metformin is gastrointestinal upset, including diarrhea, cramps, nausea, vomiting and increased flatulence; metformin is more commonly associated with gastrointestinal side effects than most other antidiabetic drugs." [1]

If these side effects persist or worsen I would recommend notifying your husband's doctor, since they may decide to switch medications. Hope this helps & wishing you both good health!
