I was given Metformin by the hospital last week. (500mg twice a day).
The closest appointment i can get with my GP is a week tomorrow. I will end up out of Metformin for approx two days as they have to fill out a brand new prescription for it.
I spoke to the surgery and they do not class running out of medication as an emergency.
Is it going to hurt badly if i dont have the tablet for two days? Ive only been on this a week so dont know how it will affect me and im not aware of any other way i can get a prescription filled.
I know you arnt Doctors and i dont expect a reply like that but just wondering if anyone else has ended up without it for a couple days. Im worrying about it quite a lot.
Thanks in advance xx
