Hello,
You may have seen Aberdeenshire on the news, basically we're all flooded and knee deep in snow in places, and everyone's stuck.
I was due to pick up my Metformin prescription today, as I am to run out on Sunday. I now can't get to the doctors to get the tablets. Weather permitting, it will be Tuesday before I can get there, but that's only if Mother Nature lets up and gives us a break.
I am taking 2 tablets of Prolonged release metformin (500mg) in the morning and 2 tablets at tea-time. I have 12 tablets left (not yet taken any this morning) and I wondered if anyone had advise - Do I continue to take my 4 a day knowing I'm going to run out, or do I drop down to 2 a day, and spread out what I have left?
I am trying to get through to the docs surgery but their "out of office" message is still on, so I'm not sure anyone will get to the practice today, and I dont know if this classes as an urgent enough question to speak to NHS24???
Any advice, greatly appreciated. Thank you.
