Liquid Vitamins And Metformin

I bought the liquid Vitamins at the Vitamin Store and had my Metformin squished to liquid at the pharmacy. Does any know that if I add these to a protein shake will it loose its potency? They both taste pretty yucky taken plane.

    Jane get a life and quit trying to scam people!

  • You would not believe the pills I have to take every morning, including 4 large liquid hell caps. My band is tight, 7.5 cc. And I have never had to crush or liquefy any of my meds. I just take one

My band is tight, 7.5 cc.

And I have never had to crush or liquefy any of my meds. I just take one at a time, with my morning shake, slow and easy. And of course, never with food or near eating solid foods. I would not want a pill to sit in my pouch causing irritation to the banded area. I rather have it go straight into my stomach.

I did get a pill crusher early on because I was told I needed to, but only used it a few times.

May not be true for everyone, just sayin.

I have found there are a lot of things they teach you to do when banded, but have found that many of them may or not apply once you get in a groove.

Thanks B52....that is good to know. I would rather swallow a small pill then take a mouthful of it squished up...so nasty.

Metformin are huge pills! Did you go to a compounding pharmacy or were you able to get a liquid? That is the only one of my pills I worry about. The rest that I take are tiny. Didn't even think to ask on that, thanks for mentioning. Hopefully, I can kick Metformin all together!
