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.

JARDIANCE can be taken along with many common type 2 diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulfonylurea, pioglitazone, and insulin. But, if you take JARDIANCE with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is higher.

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

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.

The reason is your tablet. Glyson mf. Another reason may be your irregular meal timings. You can be started with metformin 500 twice daily. Please consult your nearby diabetologist doctor as early as possible and do not indulge in self medication.

Health Query

My father has diabetes from last 11 years and taking glizid-m last year abc was 180 and hba1c -8 but after corona its been 90 days. Diabetes is increased and now hbai1c -9.5 and abc-225. Coroja I consulted with doctor, they advised us azulix mf 1 forte 2 times a day with jalra-m one time a day after meal. Today, I have checked after meals with ajulix 1 mf forte, the sugar was 161. I am afraid of metformin, doctor said its safe to give 2500 per day. Let me know about medicines and sugar control he also suggested to take glucbayl-25 two times post meals.

For metformin extended release, the maximum doasge is 2000 grams a day provided kidney function is ok. You coul change jalra m to jalra. But in the light of hba1c creeping above 9 I would suggest you to start a long acting insulin, preferably lantus.

It comes in 500 mg and 1000 mg can be taken after food because of its adverse effect to cause gastritis.
