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.

I took microcytic hypochromic anaemia treatment for 2 months (hb was 7.8) and got sudden acne flare up all over my face and neck and also gained 6 kg weight. I read that that taking vitamin b12 increases the amount of that vitamin on facial skin. This, in turn, causes a certain facial bacteria (propionibacterium acnes) to produce more of something called piriformis, which results in inflammation. And this could lead to acne. Before treatment my vitamin b12 levels were 362 pg/ml (211-911), folate was 9.20, ferritin - 56, plasma glucose random - hexokinase 106 and I was given 1500 mg methylcobalamin, folic acid 5 mg, ferrous sulphate 200 mg bd, ascorbic acid 500 mg bd for 2 months everyday. My lymphocytes are 51. It has been 10 days after stopping this medication but still new pus filled acne is coming everyday. Could it be because of methylcobalamin or high lymphocytes? Should I get porphyrins tests done? What to do for acne caused due to vitamin b12?

very less possibility of porphyrins.. treatment depends on the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Both folic acid and vitamin B12 are essential for health. But when taken together, these B vitamins may interact with each other

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