<font face="Arial Black"></font id="Arial Black"><font size="6"></font id="size6"><font color="blue"></font id="blue">Hi All, just got back from the Doctor's he has now prescribed Metformin 2x500mg daily one with breakfast and one with evening meal.
So we will have to see how we go on with that, anything to watch out for?


God bless and regards from Roger.

Hi Roger,

As mentioned in other posts on this forum, I think Lopper's problem might not be connected with the metformin because the more usual problem is the opposite of what he is experiencing!

These sites tell you pretty much anything you should know about metformin.

God bless and regards from Roger.

Roger. The trips to the loo do ease off after a while. The trick is to ensure you take the Metformin with food otherwise it can be an interesting day. Some days I find that even with food I just have a bad day - you get used to it. Hope everything goes well and that you settle down with the condition. All the people on the site are incredibly helpful and will always try to assist - just ask the questions and dont worry if it might sound daft. Sometimes the little things are the easiest to fix and someone else has always gone through it. Good luck.
