    Metformin

    Day 3 of taking my metformin every 5 hours, and I’m thinking of going back to taking 2 in the morning and 2 at night. I now seem to be having a little trouble going. Not had that problem for years. It’s something different. :-)

    Metformin - when to take it?

    EZETROL Ezetimibe 10mg

    Well done you. [emoji4]I will have a chat to my nurse, I’m sure the meds might just need tweaking, I’d would sooner take what I’m taking now, than taking metformin, god they made me bad for so long. [emoji106]
