Comment:
Have been on for 3 months and thrilled at my low BS now plus have lost 20 lbs in this time. Nothing had worked for me. Have had to take cranberry pills every day to keep from getting UTI and Diflucan for yeast infections. But in order to lower my BS and lose weight, I will tolerate these side effects.

Comment:
This drug came highly recommended. I was expecting frequent urination but this was a serious understatement. I was going every 30 minutes and drinking everything I could get my hands on. In less than a week I returned to my physician, had stat labs drawn and was admitted to the hospital for two days to flush the drug from my system. Potassium, and creatin were high and I was extremely weak.

Medicar & my insurance dont pay for this drug. $314? What a joke! Got to be something out there that helps that is affordable. Told my Dr that and he said "what do you want me to do about how much it costs"?

I was excited to start this med. but I urinate ever hour and at night ever 2 hours. On the plus my bs is lower and I lost several lbs the first week. That's the only reason I stayed on the med. is because of the weight loss. Seems to be some bad side effects in the long run CANCER, from what I read. I'm reading reviews on other meds. hopefully safer and more reviews.
