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
When a drug patent runs out, a (usually much) less-expensive generic drug comes onto the market, which is chemically and medically equivalent to the brand-name drug. If he's saying what I think he's saying, I'd like to know what the difference here could possibly be. How could the the equivalent be different?...and if its different, how could it be equivalent?
If not, what does the other answer mean?

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. has announced the launch of the generic equivalent to Baraclude (entecavir) tablets, 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg, in the U.S. Teva was the first to file, making the product eligible for 180 days of marketing exclusivity.
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.
I've done a little bit of research on this - not a lot, but some - and from what I see Acella is not a "generic" of Armour. A generic is a product made by another company that is equivalent to the brand name. Acella is not equivalent to the current Armour formulation, therefore, is not a generic of Armour.
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 ?
So, since I lost my health insurance I have had to buy generic Synthroid online from one of those Canadian Pharmacy things that sends those spam-type emails I was broke and almost out of meds so I took the bait. All has been well with it until I started having some really horrible night terrors. I'm talking NIGHT TERRORS, the kind that leave you paralyzed upon waking up. I didnt know if maybe it was because I went to buy GENERIC synthroid rather than the name brand. is that any different?
t afford to buy my own generic right now.Does anyone know of a generic equivalent patch that the drug company will give me for free?
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.
Local Walmarts offer $4 generic prescriptions for certain drugs so they are good for some antibiotics and antihistamines. For compounded drugs I use a place out of Florida who with shipping is still cheaper than our local compounding pharmacies. They are a website called Your Druggist *******. and they are reputable I have a dog who takes a compounded steroid for his IBD and has never had a problem with them.
You can take acetaminophen (Tylenol or generic equivalent) as long as you don't drink alcohol and don't exceed the recommended dosage. Should not affect your stomach, either.
Good luck with your results.
