[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1440613, member: 245335"] Hi Araminta, welcome to the forum, I can see that you've been doing some research to learn more about Bolamyn, a sustained (or slow) release form of Metformin. Metformin can cause problems like diarrhea which is why the SR version is prescribed. I still take the original version which caused horrendous problems initially, but I found that once I cut down on the carbs, the problems eased considerably. The active ingredient might be the same (Metformin hydrochloride), but I don't think pharmacists consider the other stuff in the tablet. For slow release it's hypromellose (E454), ethylcellulose, cellulose microcrystalline and magnesium stearate. I can only assume that includes something to slow it down? Possibly something that doesn't agree with everyone. [/QUOTE]
