Is It Metformin Harmful To Take With Other Antibiotics?
health question Hello. I have been experiencing some symptoms which probably are not related I WOKE UP THIS MORNING WITH A BLADDER INFECTION I AM CURRENTLY TAKING METFORMIN FOR AN EMAILING RESISTANCE. I HAD SOME LEFT OVER ANTIBIOTIC FROM A SINUS INFECTION THAT I HAVE HAD FOR THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS I STOPPED TAKING THE ANTIBIOTIC BECAUSE IT WAS GIVING ME STOMACH PROBLEMS AND I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE IT WITH METFORMIN SINCE IT'S ALSO KNOWN FOR GIVING STOMACH ISSUES THIS MORNING WHEN I REALIZED I HAD A BLADDER INFECTION I DECIDED TO TAKE THE ANTIBIOTIC CLAVULIN TO GET RID OF THE INFECTION AND ANYWAY MY SINUS PRESSURE AND MUCUS IN THROAT PROBLEM IS STILL PERSISTING EVEN IF I AM TAKING NASONEX TO HELP. I TOOK THE.ANTIBIOTIC AT 9 then I went to Starbucks and drank a decaf latte I can not tolerate caffeine in large doses it gives me tachycardia. I came home drank a lot of water and am urinating frequently I took my METFORMIN and are lunch before taking the METFORMIN I noticed I had some tachycardia and was feeling agitated and nervous so I suspect that perhaps they didn't give me decaf and instead regular coffee. I decided to drink a lot more water but the agitation continued and a metallic taste appeared in my mouth I also had tachycardia and felt I couldn't breath at that point I started feeling pain in my right hand and was feeling light headed my vision is also a but weird which happens sometimes after drinking caffeine or being around something IM intolerant to. My husband made me lay down and relax I went to the bathroom and now IM feeling a but better. Just wondering if I should be concerned go to the doctor. I should also mention it's been about a week I've had some pain under my rib on my left side. Is it dangerous to take METFORMIN with antibiotics or other meds? Thank you
Hello, Thete is absolutely no problem taking metformin with antinpbiotics or other medications. Your symptoms could have been due to low blood sugar levels.
