T NEED MORE INSULIN AND TO PREVENT ME FROM GAINING WEIGHT. I THOUGHT THAT GLUCOPHAGE WORKS ON YOUR LIVER AND PREVENTS IT FROM RELEASING GLYCOGEN-WOULDN'T THAT BE DANGEROUS FOR ME IF I NEEDED THE GLYCOGEN DURING A POTENTIALLY BAD EPSIODE OF HYPOGLYCEMIA?

TOLD ME I DIDN'T NEED IT AND TO DISCONTINUE ANY ACE INHIBITORS.
The best solution for losing weight is a combination of caloric restriction and exercise. Losing weight is challenging but with weight loss your periods have a good shot at coming back to normal. Also, there are fertility pills and a diabetes medicine called glucophage which often help to start more regular ovulation. Good luck!
Metformin (Glucophage) must be taken with food otherwise it may cause nausea or vomiting, gas, ingestion, and abdominal discomfort leading to loss of appetite and, of course, excessive weight loss. Your mother might want to switch to the long-acting form of Metformin, called Metformin ER, which has fewer side effects in patients. Please discuss this with her doctor.
yes, check if you have pcos. you should be tested for this and not have your doctor assume a diagnosis as some do or dismiss. That is one sign (body hair) another is skipped/missed monthly cycles and weight gain that isn't easily lost. Your medication is a mask for pcos if that is what you have. If so you should be taking glucophage too.

Can GLUCOPHAGE or GLUCOPHAGE XR be used in children?
GLUCOPHAGE has been shown to effectively lower glucose levels in children (ages 10 to 16 years) with type 2 diabetes. GLUCOPHAGE has not been studied in children younger than 10 years old.
GLUCOPHAGE has not been studied in combination with other oral glucose-control medicines or insulin in children. If you have any questions about the use of GLUCOPHAGE in children, talk with your doctor or other healthcare provider.
If you were my patient, I would encourage you to continue BOTH glucophage and Diane 35. It is possible that if you could lose weight and maintain weight loss that your cycles would resume spontaneously. It is also possible that they wouldn't. Diane will help with hair growth and acne as well as regulate your cycles. If you don't have at least 4 periods per year, (approx every 3 months) you will be at risk for cancer of the endometrium (uterine lining).

Hi,
Drugs for
what happen for me im obese before then I lost weight and become normal bmi 23 I take glucophage and birth control pills vit e and vit c for 6 month then following month I stop glucophage and birth control pills I get normal menstrual cycle for six month only I take vit e and vit c continue exercise normal bmi after 6month I notice that my period are starting to delay in a days or a week now 4month I never used any vitamin or any medicine.
i asked before and will probably ask every month until i actually find out i am pregnant, could i be pregnant. I had a d & c done on April 14, the dr then said with a linning this thick i would never get pregnant so thats why the d & c was done. I think during that time i should have been ovulating. My next cycle was Apil 30, which was very old looking to me, then was gone for about a day and a 1/2, then came back, but barely and then was gone.
she prescribed me glucophage 500 mg twice a day for six months. nowadays i am on glucophage and still unsuccessful to concieve. what should i do? i really need your help.
A cosmotologist recommended that i take Reductil and Glucophage (eventhough I do not have diabetes), I began loosing weight approx 6 kilos in 2.5months and felt energetic. But offlate, my constipation has increased.
Please advice how to loose my weight and fat. Iam a chocoholic but reduced the intake to just two a week or sometimes depending upon my mood cravings. Do i continue with Reductil? How do i speed up my metabolism and loose more weight since I may have to tie the knot soon?
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes late summer last year, im 17 about to turn 18 soon. I started by monitering my diet and still I needed medication, so my doctor prescribed me with Glucophage XR 500mg, 2 pills a day taken at same time.
I'm really not sure what to do, what to try, who to talk to, what to say... I was diagnosed with PCOS about a year ago, and none of my nurses told me until I looked on the paper and saw for myself.... The stuff they tell you and the stuff you read is more than discouraging about Conceiving and losing weight and being normal. I'm close to giving up.
