GLUMETZA patent infringement lawsuit against Lupin

I have taken metformin for about 5 years now. I have renal failure and my kidneys are only working 35%. I have to go thought alot of tests concerning my renal failer.

I took metformin and suffer kidney failure as well. Is there a lawsuit for this drug going on now?

I have kidney problems after metaformin. What can I do?

my husband has been taking high doses of metformin for a few years. he just got out of the hospital and was told he had liver problems and needs and liver transplant now. he is very sick and does not have insurance because of pre existing conditions and now the hospital is denying him treatment. what do you do now?

All long term studies of Metformin indicate that between 30 and 40 percent on  Metformin users of 4 years or more will develop a B12 deficiency. The longer and the higher the dose increase your chances. I was on Glucophage/Metformin for 12 years (High dose) and I developed a B12 deficiency which led to severe and irreversible nerve damage including Peripheral Neuropathy and Charcot foot. If you are on Metformin have your B12 levels checked yearly and avoid the pain.

My mother is dying from Cirrhosis of the Liver from taking Metformin/Glucophage for Diabetes.  She is suffering and has had a Centesis (fluid withdrawn) done every 8 to 10 days. Her Liver has deteriated and cannot do its job. Each time she has the Centesis done, she has to have 4 units of protein antibiotic and at least 2 pints of blood.....this is an all day procedure. When she had her first one...6 months ago, they removed 6.5 liters of fluid.  It goes down steadily and now they only get about 3 liters.  She is 84 years young and a tea totaler!  This absolutely came from Metformin and I will be a part of the lawsuit!

Wow, I am so surprise to know that many people have suffered from taking Metfromin and many medical representatives are still being able to continue giving to their customers or patiences.

I am a diabetic who has been taking metformin for a few years and was also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have been on several meds including methotrexate (off now) and losartin for blood pressure along with low dose aspirin daily.  I've had to deal with inverse psoriasis and I think yeast since I've had peeling skin (which I thought was psoriasis) and there is an odor and a "film" that comes back no matter how much I shower or bathe.  I am very tired and have been having problems walking due to calcium deposits in my heels which did not respond to steroid injection or the other medication my foot doctor prescribed.  The pain in my heels persists and keeps me from sleeping well and having a normal life...my dad and mom had diabetes also - mother also had emphysema, went into coma, was on breathing assistance, died at 51 due to enlarged heart, dad eventually diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma and passed at 71.  I am 65.  What should I watch out for ?  My son and grandchildren live with us and depend on me a lot.  Can't afford to take chances.
