metformin in horses

Another thing that scares me about it, is i volunteer rescue pregnancy horses from canada (horses kept pregnant in little boxes for their urine for human estrogen medication.) I couldnt help think, "im a hypocrite" if i take these. i dont know how to live with that. how many other birth control pills do they have you on? they had me on progesterone and 2 different bc pills to stop the bleeding after an emergent dnc. does that sound like it couldve been the problem? too much?

I have owned and rode horses all my life. I am having difficulty coping with not being able to ride because ppl told me I cant. Is it seriously that big a deal to ride? I don't want to hurt my baby, but it's literally the only thing I have done for myself and can't deal with giving it up for so long...

My Mother is 92 slim 126 pounds she feels lightheaded and dizzy in the Mornings after taking her metformin but fells better as the day wears on . I believe the metformin lowers her blood sugars in the morning causing her to feel dizzy and spacy.

even my cholesterol is normal except for my type 2 DM which was diagnosed 6 months ago. since then i was taking metformin 500 mg p.o. , changed my diet and lifestyle too and lost a 30 pounds lately. my last ECG was normal but it says " EARLY REPOLARIZATION". I read articles about this term and its quite scary. what should i do about this? pls help..

Very recently I began noticing large white capsule looking things in my stool. I read other forums & I noticed a common thread that everyone was taking the medication Metformin. I'm also on Metformin extended release, do u think that could be the cause?

I luckily had an excellent doctor at the hospital where I have been going for my antenatal appointments. She kept me on Metformin in my first trimester, I am now in my second trimester, and she has been monitoring my sugars, and I don't seem to need it anymore, so she has taken me off it. But she said that has been a very recent study, which was very comprehensive which has shown that Metformin is completely safe to use throughout the whole pregnancy where needed.

i horrible, tearful excruciating pain in my inner thighs that i am forced to jump out of bed and i cant lay back down or sit and especially hurts so much i cry and scream with pain every night what is it and what do i do

m not sure why you think Metformin only works on fat - in diabetes, the primary function of metformin is to stop the liver from over-producing glucose. "it only works on fat" - not sure what you mean.

It has been about 3 weeks since i noticed it but its not getting any worse. Is there an eye med i can put in it in case there is some infection going on without causing blindness? Also there seems to be a little more watery discharge from it, but he typically has a little watery discharge from his eyes anyway. He is an appy and i know i have to watch for moon blindness but just wondering if he hit his eye or scraped it at some point could the swelling below the eye be a sign of infection?

ve been waking myself up in the middle of the night with a Charlie horse in my leg. Then I usually fix it but then a bit later it'll be my other leg. I know it's not a dietary thing because I take my prenatals everyday and usually drink an organic juice cleanse that has 100% of daily fruits and vegetables in it. Has any one else experienced this while pregnant and know why?

A never drink anything carbonated, 1 cup of coffee a day, but I do have to take Miralax every other day.
