Your advice please!!?

Question

I am getting over a stomach virus (today seems normal except for a headache) and I am wondering when can I start back on my meds, I take metaformine, and I stopped taking it since I was sick and throwing up, Should I give it a few more days or start it back up today?? It was yesterday that I started and today I am able to eat soup, and drink liquids, and everything is staying down and my stomach feels normal, so should I wait a till tommorrow?? What do you think? thanks soo much!!

Answer 1

In the future, don't discontinue your metformin without first discussing it with your doctor.  For today, since your doctor's office is probably closed, call the pharmacy and ask their advice.  If your usual pharmacy is closed, call a 24 hour pharmacy.  Tomorrow get in touch with your doctor ASAP, tell him/ her the situation and whatever the pharmacist told you to do.

Answer 2

if it was me i would go ahead and start back today. good luck hope this helps.

Answer 3

Since Metformin is for your sugar or diabetes problem, you should not stop that without checking with a pharmacist or your doctor. You and I know that Glucophage (metformin) is important. It actually depends on when you took your last pill, could you have thrown it up with your stomach virus or had it already dissolved and in your blood stream? Call a pharmacy just in case.
