    1. Start with low dose. Increase dosage slowly. Increase by ½ to 1 tablet every 7-10 days until full prescribed dose. 2. If after slowly increasing dose as described… if still experiencing diarrhoea you may have reached maximum tolerance. 3. Take with food 4. Change metformin formulation. Different brands of Metformin are binded differently. Also, try the ‘long acting’ version of metformin. 5. Gastric issues may be caused by something else other than metformin. Side effects typically occur within a few days of starting metformin or increasing the dose. If unsure, stop taking metformin and see if the diarrhoea stops. If it stops, see if the diarrhoea restarts once you restart taking your metformin. If the diarrhoea continues even after stopping meds it is likely caused by something else. 6. If taking the long acting metformin - do not crush the tablet as it’s the tablet casing that slows release of the active ingredient.

    Farxiga worked against my health! My vision blurred, I had arthroses pains because this medication dehydrated my arthroses and the dehydration augmented the pressure in my eyes and now I have to prevent glaucoma! It's strange to me that I had all these side effects because I was drinking a lot of water! I made a recherche and found that Farxiga creates major acidity in the body and that is a great problem for arthroses because the body tries to become more alkalic and "steal" from the bones Calcium. And as a result weakens the bones and the muscles..

    TLDR: It is important to take Rybelsus as prescribed by your doctor, following specific instructions for optimal absorption and being aware of potential side effects. 00:00 👨‍⚕ Take Rybelsus as prescribed by your doctor, starting at 3 mg daily and increasing to 7 mg after 30 days, with the option to increase to 14 mg per day after 30 more days, and follow specific instructions for optimal absorption. 00:46 💊 Take Rybelsus on an empty stomach with a small amount of water and wait at least 30 minutes for full absorption. 01:33 💊 Do not crush, chew, or cut the tablet; also, do not expose the pills to moisture as it can affect the medication's action. 02:00 💡 Take each pill out of the packaging only when it's time to consume, and nausea can be a common side effect.

    I started taking Farxiga in Aug. 23 and I was surprised because for the longest time, it appeared to be not causing me any side effects, except for peeing more. However, in the last month, I started having trouble with both of my hips feeling like someone was sticking a knife in them, especially when seated. I also had lower back pain and at first, I didn't even think that it could be the med, but I ask my Dr. about it and he told me to lay off of it for awhile to see if things got better. I've been off it for three days now and my hips and back have already quit hurting. I'm not a diabetic, but he had given it to me because I'm stage 3A CKD and thought it would preserve my kidneys.

I was dizzy, had a headache, and a horrible stomach ache. This is not how i want to lose weight and get healthy. These shots make us bulimic. My Dr told me monjaro causes pancreatic issues. So he said hey try trilicity instead! It's in my fridge, i am way too afraid to try it after how i felt on the other one. I want to function and feel good as i lose weight not be miserable and puking every day.

    You are absolutely right, Doctor! I have discovered all what you are talking about throughout 25 years of treatment! I am now happy with Glumetza, 1000mg at lunch (my bigger meal of the day) and 500mg at supper time. For many years I was taking 500 mg at breakfast but was not eating enough as I just had milk, coffee and 1 or 2 toasts: which was a terrible mistake! The bloating has disappeared since I am taking green cardamome boiled in the water used for my expresso coffees. Candesartan relieved me lately from the diarrhea coming from a generic medication I had been candidly taking for decades, since my first prescription of metformin because my GP coupled them immediately together !
