When I was on it My pharmacy changed the make almost every month. Different manufacturers, pill sizes. But all 500mg SR Metformin. Basically whatever was cheapest I suspectGood afternoon
Does anyone else get a bottle of various makes of metformin each month
Just as l get used to a make it changes ….3 different makes in the bottle this month!!
My metformin comes in a separate packet with 4 foil packs of 14 pills in each I have never had a bottle of Metformin pills .Do yours come from a pharmacy ?

That's, erm, interesting... Never seen any chemist do It that way before but have had decanted pills of other types delivered like that so it's not unheard of, but Not usually Metformin. Maybe it's new thing.The metformin comes from the chemist…. Brown plastic bottle… says multiple manufacturers
I've never heard of the liquid form? Mine is in a packet and the pills vary. Some are huge while others are long and thin, which are easiest ones to swallow for meGood afternoon

There is a liquid form, doesn't seem very often prescribed but I know what you mean about the sizing. The best I ever had was a small sized ones, didn't get them very oftenI've never heard of the liquid form? Mine is in a packet and the pills vary.

In case of any problems, there should be a batch number on dispensed medication. If you have three different brands in one bottle how are the batch numbers included in the info on the bottle’s label? And how would anyone know which batch number applies to which of the three types of tablets?Does anyone else get a bottle of various makes of metformin each month
Before I was switched off of Metformin, I found every month I would get it from a different manufacturer.Good afternoon

If you struggle to swallow your pills you may find that taking them with a spoonful of yoghurt instead of water .It works for meI've never heard of the liquid form? Mine is in a packet and the pills vary. Some are huge while others are long and thin, which are easiest ones to swallow for me
I had the same problem with one of my meds, so I asked my pharmacy (I always use the same one), to always dispense the long thin ones.Mine is in a packet and the pills vary. Some are huge while others are long and thin, which are easiest ones to swallow for me
Carty, I found a way around swallowing them (by accident). I find, if you place the tablet to the side of your mouth rather than the back of the tongue, it slips down almost unnoticed!!!If you struggle to swallow your pills you may find that taking them with a spoonful of yoghurt instead of water .It works for me

I sometimes have to take Naproxen. They come as old school big round chalky tablets with no coating. Next time I will try your method or @carty 's yoghurt idea.Carty, I found a way around swallowing them (by accident).

Don’t know any U.K. pharmacy that is allowed to dispense individual pills in a bottle. All prescriptions must be supplied in sealed packets along with the appropriate leaflets, batch codes and dates.Good afternoon
