Common Questions and Answers about How to take glucophage 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.
Is there any way medication which people with pcos can take to help them with weight loss? What i have read suggests that the only way to control it is through diet and exercise. I'm asking because my friend who has recently been told that it is likely she may have PCOS goes running for an hour a day and never eats heavily but still manages to put on weight easily. e.g last week she put on over a stone despite exercising and eating well everyday.
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.
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.after i stopped diane 35,i did not get my period at all.frustrated,i chose not to consult a doctor.i chose to wait but no progress at all.
I'm sorry I do see where you wrote you are on glucophage. It really does help. I'm on metformin and since they're increased my dose I've lost 24 pounds. I have a problem with my weight too and would like to take off about 40 more. It's slow going.
She said that I still not a type 2 diabetic but just to be safe she told me to start taking glucophage once a day for 1 week and increase to 2x a day after that. Then I will repeat my tests in January. Should I start taking the meds as she prescribe. I am not overweight and no one in my family is diabetic.
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 just wanted to let everyone know that at least for me Metformin really works for losing weight! I started at 206 lbs in the beginning of May & I've lost 28 lbs to date, 178 lbs now. I was never officially diagnosed w/pcos but the doc suspected it & prescribed Metformin. It has also helped with making my period more regular. I'm about to start exercising so hopefully the weight will really fall off soon!
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.
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.
Phew! Thanks for the encouragement about the weight issue. I need to lose 50 lbs!!! That's how much I've gained and not been able to lose since my first daughter was born (almost 3 years ago). I keep seeing the scale going up and not down. My muscles do not hurt, even after really strenuous exercise.
I was just telling DH today that I must have some stinking good muscles becuase I don't feel a thing! I can do hundreds of crunches and not feel it the next day.
I went to pharmacies and asked about the medicine ( Glocophage), they say its good but it is not making me feel good. The last pharmacy I went to suggested that I should take Glucophage XR. I still didnt take it, Im still using Glucophage. He said that they're both the same but Im scared. Im sick of taking pills... any suggestions or help? much appreciated.
My doctor prescribed for me GLUCOPHAGE 500 twice daily but the side effects of this medicine were terrible and so i stopped it. I tried to walk for 1/2 hour daily and to avoid sugars but my problem is that i eat alot of bread and rice. Please advise me what foods to avoid and if there is an alternative to GLUCOPHAG.
It is good to take Clomid for induction of ovulation. Also Glucophage affects the action of insulin and is useful in reducing a number of the symptoms and complications of PCOS and also useful in the management of irregular periods, ovulation induction, weight loss, prevention of type 2 diabetes, and prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus in women with PCOS. You can discuss about this drug with your gynecologist.
