Should I continue taking Metformin 250 mg twice a day if I have severe diarrhea and vomiting and have not eaten food for two days, and is it safe to take self-prescribed Flosun OZ and Ondansetron for these symptoms?
Please temporarily stop taking your metformin. It is not safe to take metformin when you are severely dehydrated or unable to eat, as this increases the risk of a rare but serious side effect. You should not self-prescribe the ofloxacin-ornidazole combination, as antibiotics can sometimes worsen diarrhea and may not be necessary. While ondansetron can help control vomiting, self-medicating while dehydrated requires caution. Because you have been unable to eat for two days, please consult a doctor immediately for safe, personalized treatment. In the meantime, try to sip on oral rehydration solutions to stay hydrated.
