I am having problems with Zydus brand Metformin. I had been on Metformin by teva until recently when my insurance changed my drug company to Medco. I got the Metformin by Zydus. They did not work. My blood sugar went up and I started to have other symptoms. Since I had about 20 pills by teva left, I went back on that. Sure enough my blood sugar became normal again. So, I call Medco pharmacist and I was told to get my doctor to prescribe Metformin and specify that the generics have to come from teva. I also got 1 month supply from the Brand name, the original one, not generic. I am mailing the prescription and see what happens. I will keep you posted.

Good luck!
