My LD Son has been on Gliclazide for a few years now and I have not seen any signs of hypos in him. He also has a Dulaglucide injection once a week and takes Metformin. Sorry I can't be more helpful than this and hope it works well for you.

Thank you for all the information you have given SlyFox. My son and I have suffered from something that I am sure went wrong with Acacia Powder in Thyroxine in 2010 and are still suffering the same problem. I have to make sure that this excipient and, it appears Microcrystalline Cellulose...

Thank you for the information for medicines.org site. Most useful. My son has since been prescribed Teva Metformin which has quite a lot of excipients in it. Is there one with less, do you know? The Teva one he could manage to swallow with no problems, but I know that Teva Thyroxine is...

Thanks for clarifying lucylocket61.

Thank you LittleGreyCat for this further information. I am keeping abreast of any new information.

Thank you for posting this Fruitella.

Thanks for posting this Struma. Pleased to hear that MIMS are still around as I was led to believe otherwise. I shall now try to create an account and spread the word.

Mbaker, it really makes you wonder how tablets get onto the market at all sometimes. My son and I have had problems with thyroid medication as well.

Thanks for replying Nicknackwack. I have now seen the government recall notice, but, unfortunately, do not know how to post this.

Sorry lucylocket61, I did read your reply, but forgot by the time I came to reply to it. Since I originally wrote the post there has been a Government recall of the oral solution, so it is not available to anyone at the moment.

So sorry to hear this lucylocket61. Perhaps you could ask for the Oral Solution if it comes back, or the caplets as someone else has mentioned.

I have been informed by a member of a Thyroid group that the Oral Solution has had a Class 2 Medicines Recall issued on 25 August 2021. Thank you for your confirmation of this X-entricity.

Brummieboy, Thank you for letting me know about the Metformin in caplet form. It is something else to consider if all else fails.

Thanks for your reply suzyq49. It is supposed to be coming back into stock again soon.

As I was also told this by my Pharmacist, I am grateful for your reply mikeprior59.

You may find that it is unavailable soon as it all depends how much stock your pharmacy has. I phoned Rosemont Pharmacies yesterday and they told me it was because of a recall on the liquid, but that they are hopeful that it will be in stock again soon.

Many thanks for replying so promptly. I have just phoned the Pharmacy and have now been told that I can do as you have so kindly told me.

My LD Son has a swallow problem and cannot take the large Metformin Tablets, so for quite a few years now has been taking Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg/5ml Oral Solution. This has been out of manufacture for quite a few weeks now and I have been told by the Nurse at our surgery that I could...
