[QUOTE="Energize, post: 1298289, member: 28960"] Metofrmin is the generic name of the medication so, yes, the GP was correct. However, different pharmaceutical companies add different fillers and coatings so it is possible and, in fact, not unusual, for one brand to suit and another not to suit. This is the case with many medications. Personally, if I am prescribed a particular medication, I actively avoid a particular brand as, for some reason which has been investigated by the company, it just doesn't have the desired effect with me. Presumably, I can't break down something in the fillers or the coating and so the medication isn't absorbed, or active in me. There are lots of reports of similar issues, of course. [/QUOTE]
