My mother was diagnosis with Pre-diabetes and was put on a diet and exercise regimen as well as prescribed medication. The two medications prescribed is Glucophage (regulate blood sugar levels and assist with weight loss) and Cozaar (regulates blood pressure). Since taking the medications (either alone or together) she is experiencing terrible vertigo. I was wondering if anyone else is taking this drug combination or one alone who has also experienced this reaction? If so, is this common? She's mentioned it to her doctors and they end up prescribing her another medication to treat the vertigo which sometimes works. She really wants to get healthy, but if she can't even stand up to walk from one room in the house to another or have an appetite if she feels vertigo and nauseous all the time. We've looked up drug interactions and homeopathic remedies, but nothing seems to work. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. God Bless. Sandy
