At bariatric check-ups it's a chair. Very accurate. No room for such luxuries but I'm wobbling everyday so mine jumps all over. It just errors in the end.I had digital ones which kept breaking . Ended up in the bin now have normal ones . Typical now Ron can't stand on them cause of his balance so had to stop weighing him. I'm pretty sure he's put weight back on, as pushing wheelchair is getting harder . My poor shoulder ends up in alot of pain afterwards .
Ron's been back to the gp ,more antibiotics for his chest . He's also been put on Sukkarto S.R. as again been told there's no liquid version of metformin. Also Ron's had his pregabalin increased to 100mgs .
I think those are ones I'll have to swollow after op. Are they circular rather than oblong?Ron's been back to the gp ,more antibiotics for his chest . He's also been put on Sukkarto S.R. as again been told there's no liquid version of metformin. Also Ron's had his pregabalin increased to 100mgs .
The Sukkarto are oval and a lot smoother , Ron seems to be OK on them for now.I think those are ones I'll have to swollow after op. Are they circular rather than oblong?
With IBS I cannot cope with any metformin at mo. Liquid or otherwise. Will try after op to restart metformin treatment.
IBS with metformin leaves me dehydrated and ill. Very very painful. I cry with stomach and loose tummy pain.
Pregabalin is good. I mix mine with painkillers so I can fall asleep. They make me drowsy on a morning thou.
I will do thanks . I'm just sick of being lied to . Does anyone know how long liquid metformin has been around for ?Also Ask a pharmacist but I think those plain metformin tablets can be changed into a liquid for a fee.
Or they can be crushed. It has to be the standard metformin tablet only, I believe. Call your regular pharmacists for clarification though as it was info from another poster. I haven't done it before.
I don't know without searching Web but out at mo so will have to go do some shopping, with help though.I will do thanks . I'm just sick of being lied to . Does anyone know how long liquid metformin has been around for ?
I've tried looking but can't find anything other than the brand name riomet.I don't know without searching Web but out at mo so will have to go do some shopping, with help though.
If no one else helps I'll dig around later to see if I can answer that.
Has MIMS not got it listed?

Thank you I will.@tina_marie - I posted earlier on today, on this thread, identifying Metformin Oral suspensions (liquid), in the NICE National Formulary, which all doctors should be using and certainly have access to.
If your husband's Doctor is unable to find it, perhaps you could give him the url I posted.
I'll pray for you to obtain some Metformin oral suspensions in the form of liquid medication so that he can swallow it easier. Poor Ron. I feel for him with his disabilities. Prayers ongoing for both of you, @tina_marie, my lovely friend.Thank you I will.
Thank you , I also hope that it won't be long before you move to more suitable housing for yourself .I'll pray for you to obtain some Metformin oral suspensions in the form of liquid medication so that he can swallow it easier.

Is he on muscle relaxants? Do they cause gullet muscle confusion?Thanks hun, Ron and me took another look earlier and he's printed some info off . So next time we go I'm going to stuff it right up the drs hooter . I hate being lied to , and especially when all I can hear is Ron choking .
He takes baclofen but sometimes it doesn't work. He's had an endoscopy but nothing found and no he doesn't take lanzoprozol.Is he on muscle relaxants? Do they cause gullet muscle confusion?
I did have very bad reflux but lansoprozol resolves it's symptoms. I had to drink gallons of gaviscon in its absence. Lansoprozol is brilliant but side affect is low iron! Is Ron on lansoprozol?
My endoscopy was clear minus gullet inflammation (GERD).He takes baclofen but sometimes it doesn't work. He's had an endoscopy but nothing found and no he doesn't take lanzoprozol.
