Glucophage and lactic acidosis
Common Questions and Answers about Glucophage and lactic acidosis
glucophage
My doc say that I have PCOS, irregular periods ( from childhood), metabolic syndrome and other symptoms. It's seems to be hereditary. She prescribed Glucophage, and I took 2 tab each 500 for a year. Did not cure me, infact I felt worst. I also have high cholesterol, but don't eat meat and jog 3 miles almost 5 times a week. I am prediabetic and very likely to get heart disease stroke and other fatal complications as I grow older.
Please advise me how to cure PCOS.
Just a rise of lactic acid levels may not signify lactic acidosis, there needs to be a change in the acid and other electrolyte levels in the body.
On the other hand, diagnosing an infants seizures may require some more effort. This may include, history good examination and tests.
Hope this helped. Let us know if there is some other questions that you may have.
Best regards.
[17] The most serious potential side effect of metformin use is lactic acidosis; this complication is very rare, and the vast majority of these cases seem to be related to comorbid conditions, such as impaired liver or kidney function, rather than to the metformin itself.[52]
Metformin has also been reported to decrease the blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone in people with hypothyroidism,[53] and, in men, testosterone.
no it is not but on cirrhosis patients with low liver function and especially on uncompensated cirrhosis severe lactic acidosis can develop and nausea might be lactic acidosis but it takes time to develop so 99% is not related to entecavir
be sure your doctor has planned regular lactic acidosis blood tests at least the first years because lactic acidosis can reach fatal levels in the blood with time, so blood tests for this are very important
i am also on cirrhosis and on etv 0.

You'll see this under interactions.
I take metformin for insulin resistance and ovarian cysts. My doctor started me on 500 mg, taken with dinner and with in the first few days I had loose bowels. That went away and as long as I stay on my high fiber low glycemic diet I have no problems. My doctor started me on a low dose so that my body could get use to it. I have heard blogs from other women that were put on a high dose from the very beginning and they had all kinds of problems.
Now a week later I feel the same lactic acidosis symptoms. I feel cold, weak.. Having muscle pains and always tired.. I also feel. constipated and I have pain in the bladder area Im hoping this will go away.. But if it doesn't what exactly can I do from here? Considering both meds are giving me these probs so early?
Just talked to my doctor and he said it was not the drug causing this symptom and Lactic Acidosis from these drugs does not occur. He said it is a class warning but is not really relevant for these medications. Hmmm
Hoping it's just the darn cold air we are getting. I usually tolerate cold pretty well too!
After any strenuous running, (hard efforts of 1-2 minutes) I am breathing hard, lightheaded, highly nauseous, and usually vomit. This feels terrible (and is embarrassing and frustrating) and lasts about 20 minutes. Every other kid doing the same exact workout is totally fine, even the ones who are in far worse shape. I am hydrated adequately, I eat correctly, I have no other medical problems. I was cleared by a pulmonologist, cardiologist, immunologist, and sports doctor.
increased sleepiness or unexplained lethargy, weakness, decreased or slowed heart rate, cold sensations, stomach pains, or FEELING LIGHT HEADED or have fainted either before or after taking Metformin she could be showing some of the symptoms of lactic acidosis. This is a dangerous syndrome and requires immediate medical attention. Contact her doctor and inform him/her of your mother's situation asap.
It occurred about 2-3 days into my medication. I called my doctor and asked if it was lactic acidosis becase I was concerned. He assured me that it was just my body getting used to te meds, and the lactic acidosis was very rare and didn't happen often (if at all) with Hep B patients. 2 weeks later, it was gone.
jsut make lactic acidosis blood test or make tests to see if it was over reaction of your immune system, you cannot make guess on such an important matter
also check if hbvdna is still so high
lactic acidosis can also have no synthoms and takes months/years so i would say it was lactic acidosis until i see lactate blood test (it s italian, i don't know if it has same name in english).
I'm a high school track runner and consistently have a bad reaction to lactic acidosis. After strenuous running, (hard efforts of 1-2 minutes) I am breathing hard, lightheaded, highly nauseous, and usually vomit. This feels terrible and lasts about 20 minutes. Every other kid doing the same exact workout is totally fine, even the ones who are in far worse shape. I am hydrated adequately, I eat correctly, I have no other medical problems.
