Does anybody have side effects?

Some people do, usually gastric upset. I had side effects for a week to ten days when I first started it, but nothing since then and that was five years ago. If you can’t tolerate the standard version it’s worth asking for the sustained release ones instead as in some they are tolerated better.

Yeah I’ve had some but now I’m on emphaglozin aswell that seems to have calmed it down a bit.

I'm doing fine with metformin as long as I take it with food. :)

I had been taking metformin for about 13 years, but my kidney doctor told me to stop taking it about 3 moths ago. Never had any side-effects that I know of.
