In the second type of diabetes it cannot be taken when the patient is in a state of ketoacidosis (weakness, a smell of acetone from the skin and mouth). If you undergo examination using radiopaque substances intravenously, Metformin temporarily canceled, do not forget to say about the medicine the doctor sent for examination using x-rays, and the doctor nominated the Metformin.

The solution in this situation one – not to drink another dose of Metformin and cause «Ambulance».

Recently, this medicine began to be set not only diabetics, but also people who want to recover from obesity. However, the therapeutic effect of this drug does not suffering from diabetes people is not proven. Although such advertising increases the sales of more expensive options such as the drug "Glucophage". If you wish to try this medicine, it is better to choose a budget option like the “Metformin-Teva”. Its effect is no worse than expensive counterparts.
