Can anyone inform me what is Thai brand name for Metformin 500mg slow release tablets. I am on the normal stuff and boy does it make me rumble.

I use Buformin 500mg tablets.

Interesting, they are still making that in Thailand. It was withdrawn in many countries.

it says metformin 500mg on the packet , is it diffrent from others , thanks for the info

mine says 'GLUCOLYTE' Metformin 500 MG...... made by T.O. Chemicals [1979] Ltd, Bangkok.

Bought them for past 9 or 10 year, in a white Tub 500 tablets.. cost 299 baht.

That is not AFAIK slow release.

Extended release preps are higher than 500 mg dose.

Glocophage XR (750mg and 1000 mg)

Have you tried being sure to take with food?

Hi Sheryl ,

Do you know how much they cost.

Sorry, no I don't.

They are an imported brand so will not be cheap.

It was actually "Glucophage" when last prescribed for me in the Kingdom.
