Those are typical side effects of metformin. It takes ur body sometime to get used to the meds. Try taking 1 tablet a day instead of 2 for some time. Eat less fatty/oily food as well. More salads, protein. Less carbs and fats. And take a daily walk for 20 minutes.

Hi Abhi,

How much mg are u taking? I am on Glycomet(500mg) I started off with one tablet at night for 10 days and now am on 2 tablets a day, mrng and night.,...Initially i had this problem of nausea and stomach pain...Even now occasionally i feel nauseous and stomach pain also is a frequent one....But then how long have u been using the tablet? My dad is a doctor and he tells me that Metformin will take time to get used to the body...Make sure that u avoid all oily and fatty items...And dont keep thinking about the tablet...Keep urself engaged in some work..

Hi Ladies,


I am married 2.5yrs and TTC section. As i have PCOD and Hypo Thyroid i checked with one of the Gynecologist. She prescribed me the Glycomet-850mgSR along with Folic Acid. But after i had used the Glycomet 850mg for 20 days continuously i got the period after months. But the problem is still i can finding the bleeding little bit on 14 day also. I consulted gynecologist again she advised me to use Pause 500 for 4 days but still i can find the little bit bleeding.


Please suggest me how can get rid of this ? is this a normal behavior or did anyone come across of this kind of situation ? Please throw some light on this issue.

Thanks
