Yes they do cause these side effects plus more. All Allopathic Medicines have side effects and all can cause complications. I would suggest that you visit a Good Homeopathic Physician near you for the cure of your sleeping disorder or depression and you will get better faster and totally without any side effects or complications.\nTake Care and God Bless you

Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Because a side effect is stated here, it does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.\n\n    * Headache\n\n    * Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain\n\n    * Allergic reaction to active ingredient\n\n    * Low blood glucose level (hypoglycaemia)\n\n    * Weight gain\n\n    * Blood disorders\n\n    * Skin rashes\n\n    * Severe skin rash (erythema multiforme)\n\nThe side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the drug's manufacturer.\n\nFor more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.\n\nHow can this medicine affect other medicines?\n\nThe following drugs may enhance the effects of glibenclamide leading to low sugar levels in the blood:\nAspirin; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS); sulphonamide antibiotics; co-trimoxazole; ciprofloxacin; warfarin; beta blockers; ACE inhibitors; anabolic steroids; monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs); antifungals (fluconazole and miconazole); testosterone; clofibrate; phenylbutazone.\n\nThe following drugs may reduce the effect of glibenclamide and so may raise blood sugar levels:\nDiuretics (loop and thiazide diuretics); corticosteroids; combined oral contraceptives; rifampicin; chlorpromazine.\n\nGlibenclamide may alter the blood thinning effects of warfarin and other coumarins.\n\n\nHow does it work?\n\nIn patients with diabetes mellitus, there is a deficiency or absence of a hormone manufactured by the pancreas called insulin. Insulin is the main hormone responsible for the control of sugar in the blood.\n\nGlibenclamide is an antidiabetic medication which is used in those patients with maturity onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). It works by lowering blood sugar levels by stimulating the production and release of insulin from the pancreas. It also promotes the movement of sugar from the blood into the cells in the body which need it.\n\nThese two mechanisms, in conjunction with a diet low in sugar and fat, allow diabetics to control their blood sugar levels more effectively.

I can't be sure but it sounds like allergy medicine or anti-biotics.  I think its effects are probably diahhrea and yawning, and bleeding and all those great things.

Samantha-\n\nI rec'd a direct mail piece on Proxenol, and did some investigation...it appears that there are no side effects, other than reducing your wallet by $39.95, $20.95 or $19.95. There is a health forum discussion you can find via google, and several have tried this supplement, and it appears to be useless. - Todd

Glucosamine Condroiton, you can get it at Wal-Mart and other places.  I've even seen it at Aldis.

It's Glucosamine.  If you're thinking of taking it, look into the kind with Condroitin and MSM.  You might want to ask your doc.  Mine said it's okay to take, whether/or how much it helps is individual, but I feel better after six months.

Androgenic side effects are common with Naposim, and may include acne.\n\nIn terms of stopping the effects: is it worth telling you to stop taking the drug, and pointing out the toxic effects it is almost certainly having on your liver?  That assumes the drug you have is geniune, and not one of the increasingly prolific counterfeits.\n\nThere is a reason why this drug has been outlawed in so many countries.  If you will continue to take it please visit your GP for thorough check-ups, including liver function.

A locum prescribed me reductil while my GP was on holiday.  When I next saw him, he said that he didn't think they worked and wouldn't have prescribed them.  I had to lose 10% of my bodyweight in 3 months - that's part of the licensing process, apparently.  I didn't manage to lose that much, so don't take them any more.  So well done for losing a stone!  That's better than nothing!!\n\nI found that my sleep was really distubred while I was taking them - I had lots of restless nights and felt awful because I was so tired all the time.
