Hi,
I know I may be grasping at straws here but do people experience any difference in the effects of Metformin SR brands?
I was on Metformin (standard) 3x 500mg but then I started to experience cyclical diarrhoea and vomiting. I was changed to a prescription of generic Metformin SR 3x 500mg. The digestive side effects stopped within a few days. I thought yes it's all better this can work. However come my third monthly prescription a couple of days in and it all starts up again. I don't normally pay any attention to the brands of prescription medication. However I realised that the first 2 months were Metabet SR and the most recent ones are Glucient SR. The Glucient ones are powdery on the outside rather than being plasticy like Metabet.
Relatedly anyone else notice their bg levels increase on the SR?
Am I clutching at straws or is there a difference?
