[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2165362, member: 345386"] Hi [USER=41885]@lucylocket61[/USER] - I've never taken Metformin, but if the tablets are about the same size as Aciclovir I had when I had shingles a few months ago, you have my sympathy. Those were ginagerous, and 5 times a day - not impressed! To be honest, on times when I was sure, for whatever reason, they weren't going to go down well, I took a spoonful of yoghurt (or cream, if you prefer) and took them that way. That seemed to make them slippery enough. If all fails, Lucy, there is a liquid option, although the medics try to avoid prescribing that as it is quite a bi more costly than he more usual tablets.
