It is one of the side effects and your Dr sahould be made aware of it..

Question about glucophage side effects

Okay, here goes a really embarrasing question....I had not noticed

any side effects from glucophage since I began taking it. However, my

doctor recently increased my dosage to twice a day. Since that time

I've had what I would consider to be moderate diahrea. It may just be

a coincidence, and I've got some kind of stomach bug, but does anyone

know if this is a common side effect of the medication, and can I

take OTC meds to help correct it? Thanks! Glad you guys are here to

share these lovely things with

It is a side effect of the Glucophage. It should go away once your body

gets used to the meds.

Hi welcome to the world of Glucophage. I say they should give out a

certificate for running shoes cause you will be going. It subsides

after a while but be aware that if you get really really hungry the

runs come back. I don't know if that's something that happens to me

but when my sugars 'get low' I tell yah I have to stop drop and roll,

lol

My doctor said that glucophage does promote weight loss. Basically, when it

is in your system it makes your stomach take longer to process your food so

that your insulin has enough time to manage it. This longer digestion means

you don't take in the calories as quickly. At least, that was my understanding

of the process.

If you read the Physicians Book about Glucophage one of the official

side effects is also Anorexia! THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Because it processes the food so slow you stay full longer and don't

wanna eat. I know this to be true because it has been one of the

reasons I have kept my weight off. I'm not hungry and I feel full

all the time. Between that and all the dang gone water I consume

LOL Anoexia? Now don't that beat all. Looking at me you would NOT think

anorexia nervosa. I will admit that I am not as hungry as I would have

expected to be on my present diet. My portions are currently 1/2 or even 1/3

of what I was eating before, yet I feel very satisfied. I do get hungry at

appropriate times and do eat my meals on a regular basis. I have been losing

weight rapidly for the most part. I'm plateauing right now...but hopefully will

start to go down again once I can kick my body in gear. I wonder if I get

off

the glucophage if I will have a problem dieting? Interesting thought.
