糖尿病用藥臭如髒襪子 美醫師：難怪病患噁心
更新日期:2010/02/16 10:09
（路透華盛頓15日電）美國多位醫師今天報告，糖尿病常用藥metformin真臭，這也許是許多病患停止服藥的原因。
他們表示，對某些人來說，這種藥物聞起來像魚或髒襪子，這可說明此藥為什麼有讓人噁心的副作用。
他們致函「內科醫學年鑑」（Annals of Internal Medicine）表示，解決這個問題的方法是把metformin做成糖衣式藥丸，就不會有臭味，也不會在胃內釋放異味，導致打嗝發出臭氣。
喬治亞醫學院（Medical College of Georgia）的白耶悌（Allen Pelletier）與同僚在信中指出：「我們不解這個現象之前怎麼沒被披露過。」他們說：「病患可能通報metformin讓他們噁心，可是沒有進一步詳述或區別這是內臟對藥物氣味所產生的反應。」中央社（翻譯）

Metformin's Fishy Smell May Account for Drug Discontinuation
Patients taking generic versions of the diabetes drug metformin may report a "fishy" smell, researchers describe in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The authors describe two case reports in which patients stopped taking generic metformin after being nauseated by the drug's fish-like smell. Pharmacists have also noted the peculiar odor, "like old locker-room sweat socks," the authors write.
They conclude: "When patients stop taking metformin, physicians should consider inquiring more closely about revulsion to the odor of the medication. Trial of a film-coated, extended-release formulation may be a reasonable approach in such cases."
