Safe to take metformin with MK677?

[superbigd]

Hey like the title says is it safe to take metformin with mk677?

Why do you think it wouldn't be?

...not gonna go hypoglycemic if that's the answer you're looking for. metformin does not cause your body to produce more insulin and mk-677 does not cause a drop in blood sugar.

P.S.

i personally have never gone hypo on the two. i've used metformin for many years.

Just curious if there were any drug interactions I should know about

superbigd do your homework, use search engines.

a lot of drug reactions are caused by commonly prescribed drugs like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs/ibuprofen, anticoagulants and diuretics. it's your body superbigd and only you have the true motivation to keep track of what you are taking. become an amateur pharmacist and do the research online and don't leave it in the hands of someone else at your pcp office.

It’s actually a good combination because MK-677 has shown to reduce insulin sensitivity and increase fasted blood glucose numbers.

I have used them both for the last couple months without any negative effects that I know of.

Good point. Also, MK-677 does not cause pituitary sensitization, nor does it suppress the body’s production of Growth Hormone.
