Janumet half dosage
Common Questions and Answers about Janumet half dosage
janumet
My husband was recently diagnosed with type II diabetes. His doctor has prescibed janumet. In reading about the drug I've found info stating that "one should not consume excessive alcohol" and also "one should avoid alcohol". My husband drinks at least one glass of wine/beer a day with more on weekends. I'm confused as to what excesive means or if he is suppose to avoid alcohol totally.
Any information would be appreciated.
i used janumet for my sugar it make me gain weight but it lower my sugar why isnt suppose to make u loose weight
I went on metformin 1g, no change after three months. went up to two grams and was so nauseus for weeks, changed to janumet 1g. My sugars are still up around 15 every day, and my hand still hasnt stopped twitching. I get it all over my body randomly, but always in my hand. It doesn't hurt but is irritating and my hand is sore from overworking.
My dr said this was a diabetes issue but I have never heard of it before among other sufferers, and he just brushes it away when I mention it.
hi i am presently living in the Philippines and i have run out of my janumet 50mg/500mg tablets and they are not available here in Philippines the only diabetic tablets available where i live are Metformin 500 tablets, can i substitute these for the janumet ?
5 in half, one of those halfs will be a .0.25 and then half of that will be a half of a half of a 0.25--correct? so if i take 2 of those halfs im takeing a whole 0.25? now how confusing can this be!? lol, i thought i had it down but then i was like wait a mn!!! Dr gave me the 0.5 first and i told him no no no, i want the SMALLEST! so he says just cut in in half, well, i wanted to half that even to start so anyway...w/o a formula explanation to confuse me more--am I right???
Thanks for your response. I have type 2. My last HA1c was 8.1 and I am now using Janumet. I do suppose a dietitian is the right way to go. Thanks again.
it sounds like you need to have your levels checked again and then stay on a steady dosage of medication and be re-tested to see if that dosage is good for you.
when you have these episodes QUOTE:By 10. am i will feel very uneasy and will want to lie down.Even if i lie down in sofa with head little up no good.I will feel so uneasy that i have to lie down in bed with head flat
Do you ever try and stay up and force yourself to do something else? Like go outside and do some kind of activity?
why do I have to take the full 1mg of Armidex when women who are heavier than me and still have their ovaries take the same dosage. Will a half dose or every other day dose be just as effective for me? If anyone knows where I can get this answered, please let me know. I would like to get some information before I speak with my onc., I guess I need some ammunition.
5 mg, and cough suppressant dextromethorphan 15 mg, each per 5 mL), then the guideline dose for a 4-year-old is one-quarter teaspoon (the one-half teaspoon dose is for age 6-11 years, while the full teaspoon dose is for ages 12 years and up).
Plus you could discuss changing meds. BTW There is a combination pill Janumet that c ombines Metformin and Januvia. This may be helpful to you as well.
I use to take Levothyroxin 125MCG tab mylan One and One/Half Tablet six days per week and One/Half Tablet one day per week. This was bought at Walmart.
I started to obtain my Medication from the "VA". They sent me Levothyroxine NA ( Synthroid) 0.025MG Tab. Take One/Half once Daily.
What is the differance between 125MCG and 0.025MG ? Will the dosage be correct ?
I have since found out it is not a good idea to split a Somac tablet. I'm still interested to hear from anyone who has an opinion about whether a 20mg tab twice a day is any better than a 40mg once a day.
I thought I had to vomit, but when I intentionally tried to vomit, nothing happened. I have type 2 diabetes and currently take Janumet twice a day. Could this have been low blood sugar, or high blood sugar?
Hi There, I'm a recently turned 40year old male,living in Malaysia. I have a history of neck issues (cervical spondylitis)?
Sometime later Sept - Oct 09, stiffness of the neck and head getting heavy had me run to my GP for advise. He checked my blood sugar and it was 22 Mmol. I also have had elevated blood sugar problems when I had a boil somewhere on the body or the neck getting stiff, after a while it went away.
However, many folks do see a significant benefit from one-half of that dosage. 1/4 mg, twice daily. Klonopin is very potent, and to minimize the risk of untoward effects, the lowest effective dosage should be used.
There would be no issue with splitting your 1/2 mg tablet in half, and taking 1/4 mg twice daily. This would be desirable.
Do NOT abruptly cut the dose in half.
Alright this is the low down on half life's on drugs. The half life is the time it take to omit half of the dosage of the drug from your system. The tricky thing is that you don't go through two of them and the drug is gone. It is actually five half lives. This is how it works. You take 10mg. In one half life you have 5 mg left. The next time the period of time passes that is the half life you have 2.5mg left. The next time 1.25 mg. The fourth half life leaves you 0.625mg.
he is on an oral medication for the type 2 the med is Janumet. His blood sugar is controlled and his doctor said hes doing good on it my question is could this problem lessen his chances for svr? any info is appreciated. Wishing you all on treatment SVR!!!
says metformin at both 500 x 2 and 1000 x 2 are both equally ineffeciant for treating diabetes. She highly recommends Janumet 5/500. Gus added this to his and has seen a decline in sugars.
I did as well when I was switched.
My diabetese medicine was changed from Pioglar + Metformin 500 twice a day to Janumet 50+1000 twice a day in around March 2011. I have since lost about 15 KG and it is still going down @ 1 kg per month. I was happy to reach my ideal weight. However, I do not know how to stop further loss. I am Diabetic, so can not discontinue Metformin. Any suggestion ?
How long do I need to stay on that dosage before I step down to half of that. I want off completely but am scared. It's only been two days now that I have decreased the dosage. I want to do it safely without letting my family know that I have been taking these pills. I also don't want to have seizures...I need a tapering schedule without letting my doctor know as he might cut me off completely.
Firstly, I must tell you that taking someone else's meds, even your husband's, even if it's the same thing, is a no-no. And we cannot tell you what to take or not take since we are not doctors. I will tell you that I, personally, have split my meds, and taken half now and half later with no bad effects. But that's just me.
