Is Glycomate 500 Effective For Stomach Pain?
Dear Doctor: I am taking Glycomate 500 as prescribed for Diabetes, FBS - 137 and PPBS - 158 for past 3 months, for past few days I have extreme stomach pain lasting hours ( one time this lasted up to 18 hours). Need I consult for second opinions to change medicine

Hi,
1.Glycomate 500 mg contains the active ingredient Metformin. It is usually associated with diarrhea or upset stomach.
2. The stomach pain you feel might be due to:
- GERD/reflux
- gastritis
- cholecyst problems
induced perhaps from the medications you are taking and diet restrictions. Advise to run :
- abdominal ultrasound
- upper endoscopy
for further evaluations.
3. Meanwhile, I advise to:
- eat often, small portions and chew up slowly
- avoid spicy/chilly/citrus foods/drinks
- have your meals regularly, do not skip one
Hope it helped!
