Is There Any Generic Form Of Metformin 500 Mg?
I have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. i have been prescribed Onglyza since every other medicine either didn t maintained my glucose level or was too expensive. Don t worry she s been give me samples when available. Metformin is inexpensive, however the one she prescribed caused heart palpitations after several months. My doctor only prescribed one kind of Metform (500 mg, oval shaped). I) I need an inexpensive medicine like Metformin that will work; 2) I need a prescription diet pill to help lose weight. I m 5 3 at about 220 lbs.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
Metformin is the drug of choice for obese diabetics,so you can choose the low cost metformin,among the ones in the market.
For weight control life style is the main thing concerned,so i advise you to practice, morning walk,yoga,and diet control.
I advise you to minimize the sleeping time. and not to sleep in the day time.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
