don't panic BW - there was something in the paperwork with metformin (or maybe i found it on the net) saying you should avoid NSAIDS (ibuprofin) when taking metformin - was something to do with increasing the side effects of the metformin - i'd been told to take nurofen plus for an issue with my teeth - and i started having massive dizzy spells and almost passing out and stuff - wasn't fun. have had barely any since then!

woo hoo - had a quick look on the net (not sure how to do a quote, but i'm sure i'll work it out eventually!)


""You may be more likely to have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if you are taking metformin with other drugs that lower blood sugar. Drugs that can lower blood sugar include:
ยท nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); ""



sorry - hope you haven't stressed out too much!
