[QUOTE="cugila, post: 111342, member: 15325"] First of all there is no such thing as 'old' Metformin, I think that was just a figure of speech mog used ? The Patient Information Leaflet or the label on the box/bottle will tell you what it actually is. There are two types of Metformin. The usual type which is normally prescribed, then the MR/SR Modified or Slow Release which are more usually prescribed when ordinary Metformin is not tolerated. They have a slower release of the active ingredient Metformin Hydrochloride and have exactly the same efficacy. The usual advice concerning Alcohol is to not drink when taking them. What you and others do is your own choice. I have drunk whilst taking Metformin and many other meds, not a problem providing it was kept in moderation......however recently I went on to a med which I was specifically told do not touch Alcohol. Fine until one night I forgot.....I drank a 330ml bottle of Stella.......about an hour later I was sick, felt dreadful and after a short sleep awoke with what to me felt like a massive hangover.......I shall make sure I stick to the medical advice in future. :( [/QUOTE]
