I don't see any rationale of using this combination at this stage. Some doctors are using it so it is better to enquire from your treating physician. His / her experience with this medicine may be good.

Dear lybrate-user,
nervigen np contains pregabalin, nortriptyline and methylcobalamin. This combination is usually given for diabetic neuropathy. From what you describe your pain started after you lifted a heavy weight. If the pain is in the shoulder region it may be a tear in the ligament. Nervigen np can be taken along with metformin and it will not interfere with the action of metformin. You may feel somewhat sleepy when you are on this medicine

In pt of pcod there is increased insulin resistance ,metformin being a insulin sensitizer drug decreases the insulin resistance, it also helps in reducing wt and in ovulation. Total dose is 1500 mg taken in 2 or 3 divided doses.
Lifestyle changes for wt reduction should also be adopted.

The delayed version releases the drug more slowly and this usually eliminates the gastrointestinal problems.

Ir is immediate release and sr is sustained release formulations. Both work well but usually sr formulations have lesser gastrointestinal side effects.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the products are same. The er refers to extended release, which means the drug is released slowly over 12 hours in the gut. That helps maintain a longer therapeutic level. It is beneficial more so if a person has any side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances if plain metformin is taken. Both are fine. Thanks.
