[QUOTE="louiseb, post: 262531, member: 25489"] I also take Glucophage 500mg SR, I was given Bolamyn 500mg by the chemist and told it was a just generic form of glucophage. The bolamyn gave me quite a bad allergic reaction, I came out in hives everywhere. I also found that they didnt control my blood glucose level as well as the glucophage despite no change in my diet. I spoke to my doctor about this. who since changed my prescriptions to state specifically glucophage so the chemist can no longer give the generic versions. Speak to your doctor about the your change in bowel habits and bloating and maybe they can adjust your prescription for you. Although some doctors are reluctant to prescribe specific brands due to cost. you could also try speaking to the chemist before they dispense your script and ask if they will give the glucophage if they say so no take the script back and try another chemist, I always find boots the best. Maybe it might also be worth making an appoitment with your gp to make sure that the symptoms your having are not something else totally unrelated to the change in brand of meds. [/QUOTE]
