Mr. lybrate-user Thanks for the query.
When extended release or sustained release Metformin tablet is being taken, some times one notices the the tablet being excreted from the stools. However, it is only containing the polymer used to make the drug release slowly in the gut. The drug is fully absorbed. It is only that polymer shell that comes out. Hence there is no reason to worry. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user,
try taking it before 15 min before food because the drug works better that way. If it cause symptoms of gastritis such as fullness and burning sensation in the upper abdomen change timing to after food

Thanks for the query.
Usually Metformin is recommended to be taken after food. That helps reduce any side effects those may be noticed. Plus its absorption is not affected by presence of food in the gut. Thanks.

It's OK. Both are of different OHA with different actions. Glycomet is Metformin which is biguinides n reduces hepatic glucose production while Tenepride is Tenligliptin belongs to a group of medicines called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors. It works by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas, which helps lower the blood glucose levels in the body.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Both are containing same medication Metformin. One is a sustained release form, acting for a longer time. It is supposed to be better tolerated. That is all the difference. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Your observation is without any specific data. So nothing can be said about it. I have been treating a number of patients taking the mentioned drug or other metformins without any complaints. So difficult to say anything. Thanks.

Addition of metformin will restrict your insulin dose.You can stop glimipride in glycomet Gp 3/850 instead you can use glycomet 1000mg twice a day.You can stop jalra also because it is effective in early years of disease.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
As told by your endocrinologist pioglitazone does help insulin action by reducing resistance to its action. The combination has been banned because it is considered as irrational to have certain "fixed dose" combinations. Because it is difficult to make dosage adjustment in asuch a combination. However, using those separately is absolutely fine. Plus if you have been getting good glucose control with those drugs, then please do use separately. At the d...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Recent studies have shown that Metformin usage is highly beneficial in controlling endometrial hyperplasia. That is the reason it has been prescribed to you. Please continue using it, along with other medications. Thanks.
