Does anyone else suffer from heartburn whilst taking metformin? I suffer really badly especially at night and wondered if it was just me or the tablets?

You could try asking your GP for Metformin SR (Slow Release).

I had bad reactions with standard Metformin then was fine when I changed to the SR version.

Always best to check with your GP

Good luck
