I am 66. I have been shifted from glimestar m1 to reclimet-xr wh hand fingers. I was carrying my tests results as hba ic 7.5%, gf 113.5, abg 169 mg. After 15 days on reclimet-xr. Results were: hba ic. 7.2%, gf 106.6, 1 pp 186.9, egfr 89, total rbc 4.4, hemoglobin 12.5 g/dl, mchc 30. 7g/dl, pdw 22.18 fl, mpv 15.3 fl, pct .16%. When reported that no relief in stiffness & knee pain, I have been advised to take injection of aumento 100 mg- once a month for 3 months. I find, online, the side effects of this injection not in my favor as I was on prostate cancer medicine (kaluran) for 10 months till 27.12.2018 after my surgery in feb-18 for carcinoma prostate. I just want to know, 1. As there is no relief from stiffness in fingers & knee pain 2. Cancer therapy was just over in dec. 18. Shifting to reclimet xr (where glimepiride is just shot up from 1 mg to 60 mg) & the injection mention above is correctly prescribed in view of my circumstances.
