Glucophage used for weight loss
Common Questions and Answers about Glucophage used for weight loss
glucophage
Thank you, PastorDan. I read something about Metformin that said if you have weakness, to not take Metformin and I sure don't need to add to my symptoms. I hope your wife is doing well today. Is she in alot of pain? I hope they can help her with the liver disease. I don't think I realized fatty liver could cause chirosis. That's kind of scary! I've had a fatty liver for many years. I really need to lose alot of weight but my insurance doesn't cover weight loss.
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.
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!
* It sounds like you're having alot of success on Metformin. Congrats on your weight loss!
when i was 14,i started losing dramatic amount of weight,n i was getting my period for almost 6 months but they wud last for more than two weeks n they were really heavy.but after 6 months,evthing stopped n i was gaining weight.when i turnd 15,my mum decided to tk me to another gynae,n she sed i was having hormonal imbalance n suggested me to take diane 35 for two months apart from asking me to do some physical activities.i got my period for two months continuously,n started reducing weight.
Is your son overweight? If so, his doctor may be trying to suppress his appetite in order to help him lower his weight. If he is overweight even though a type 1 diabetic, then some type 2 treatment may be necessary in addition to his insulin, for fat cells tend to cause insulin resistance problems. I am just guessing, based on what you wrote.
So far as a result I have lost weight which I needed to lose about 20-25 lbs to be what i need to be for my height. I never dropped the weight after my daughter. Then I will see him back and he will check my insulin levels and see what to do from there. He said it seems to him that the Metformin with maybe Clomid (maybe) will do the trick. He said the only thing that has changed since I had my daughter has been my weight and that made my PCOS kick in with the insulin levels.
I have been steadily packing on the weight for a few years now and cannot loose for the life of me. my tsh,t3,t4 always come back in normal range. Since iam no longer on birth controll i have elevated testosterone levels. I have done excersize programs and yes its good and all but it's not painless to cary around 220 lbs! The doctors all they say is loose weight and that pcos while linked to obesity is not the cause. I do not beleive that at all.
leighanne, women with PCOS who take Glucophage/Metformin lose weight rapidly. Because they're not actually diabetic. Metformin is a drug used for many different things, not just diabetes. Women with PCOS have insulin resistance. Our ovaries produce insulin and that's what I'm talking about.
can i use another method to get pregnant fast or which things or activity youthink will be good for a PCOS girl to get ovulation back. do u think glucophage is helping drug for making eggs healthy and regular ovulation.
Im about 170 lbs now, i used to weigh about 215 when I was diagnosed. Im about 5'10" so my weight now matches by height. Ill try and see a specialist soon, thanks for the advice and warnings.
Unfortunately, this is normal for Glucophage or any of the generic brands of this drug. It is listed on the prescription info that comes with the pills. It states that it will have a strong moldy smell and taste. Just hold your nose and take it anyway!
I have tried to treat all the health issues over the years and am still not well. I was treated with Glucophage and the first time I used it had a great reaction from it. Lost a lot of weight and felt better. I was taken off of it and gained all the weight back. Second time I went on it I had a bad reaction and had to go off of it. That was about 20 or so years ago. Labs I have had recently show normal thyorid levels. Just wondering if anyone else here is experiencing any of these symptoms.
after @ a year, my b/s was still not doing as well as it should be, so Actos was added. I have now been on Glucophage/Actos for @ a year now. Last month I went to dr for a visit because all of my joints, including my hands were aching badly. We really had not sat down & talked for quite awhile. He felt that my aching hands were from my diabetes & said that if I did not start watching my B/s more closely he was going to have to put me on insulin.
Treatment will depend on your symptoms and desire for child bearing. Weight loss is the best natural treatment for PCOS. Birth control pills can be taken for menstrual irregularity. If you have a problem conceiving then your gynaecologist will be able to help you. Basic problem in PCOS is hormonal and because of an-ovulation.
Hope this helps.
