Message: <blockquote data-quote="84green" data-source="post: 2254836" data-attributes="member: 519256">I recently emailed my GP following a private HbA1c test which showed my level at 38 mmol/mol, down from 56 on 4 February. I am currently prescribed 4 x 500mg Metformin SR per day. Had a phone call from the surgery this morning telling me to move to 2 x 500mg per day pending a further review at my next test in July. I was expecting / hoping for this. On checking my medication on line I see that my prescription has been changed to 2 x 500mg Yaltormin SR per day. Is Yaltormin a new brand name. Is there any difference between the two in terms of side effects? Thanks.</blockquote>
