Hi
Yesterday I started taking Metformin tablets and am on 1 a day for 2 weeks to increase to 2 then a review with GP to make any further adjustments.
I have read the information leaflet that is enclosed in the pack and to my amazement it lists half the other medications I am taking for other health issues I have, yet we discussed these when I saw the GP - should I be worried?
Also I had a really upset stomach last night, that occurred very suddenly, and I was constantly dashing to the loo. However toiday, so far, everything seems to be ok, but I have just taken my tablet with my lunch so should I expect the same later on this evening again?
I know it mentioned in the leaflet that I could experience a 'bad tummy' and nausea but I felt really awful yesterday so I hope it settles and my body gets used to it soon as I will be increasing to 2 tablets in a couple of weeks!
Any advice?
Many thanks
