Global Patient Feedback for Actoplus Met

Please see our forum guidelines.


My triglycerides were over 400 for a year, I then went on Actpolus Met, Tricor, and Amaryl . . . just got blood work back and triglycerides were 133 and cholesterol is also 150 . . . Iwas quite surprised, although I dont know how much is attributable to the meds or to watching my diet?

I have been taking Actoplus Met for several years now and have not had any bad side effects. I works wonderfully at keeping my blood sugar level under control.
