[QUOTE="wookie101, post: 887474, member: 186332"] HI, Just writing as i thought I read somewhere about Dr making mistakes on working out the calculation from switching from regular Metformin to Slow Release Metformin. I was on 3x500 regular metformin but I kept getting crushing chest pains from time to time within 15mins of take a pill. Dr has now put me on the slow release variety (he spent ages reading several things making calculations) and then just prescribed effectively 1500mg per day of SR Metformin 1x500 in the morning 1x1000 to be taken with evening meal. My concern was (as I've just got them) that he was concerned.... Anyone else taking SR Metformin (branded Glucophage) [/QUOTE]
