My husband has a pituitary brain tumor He takes Cabergoline, Synthroid, Prednisone, Amlodipine, Lisinopril, VitD3 and has been taking Janumet50/1000. Since ObamaCare started we lost our insurance.... Now his Cabergoline is $674.00 a month for 24 pills & his Janumet is $368.00 we cannot continue to pay for this because he also lost his job in the coal mines!!! Before he took Metformin, but he always forgot his morning dose, so therefore his endo doctor hanged him to Janumet....if he would take the metformin correctly wouldnt that be okay?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. First metformin is not used for pituitary tumor.  Metformin is used in treatment of diabetes.  It is oral anti-diabetic Chat Doctor.  You can take metformin to control sugar level according to your doctors' advice.  For pituitary tumor he should continue his previous treatment. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
