My local chemist has changed the brand of mediformin SR .Since that time I have spent a lot of time going for a pee and a horrible taste in my mouth.Does anyone else have this issue when they where given different make?

Is this a permanent change or a one off? Sometimes they can be of stock of a particular brand and they need to give you an alternative to fill your prescription. But do let the pharmacy know about your issues so that they can sort things out.

I had (different) problems when I was changed to a particular alternative brand and our pharmacist changed it for me, and made a note on my records. And she always checks with me now if my regular brand isn't available when I request my repeats.
