Hi. The bloating may be the Metformin which is quite a common problem. It should recede but if it doesn't see whether you can be prescribed the Slow Release (SR) version of Metformin. I suspect the cardio blocker may be causing the dry cough as some of these drugs are known to cause similar symptoms. Do read the leaflet for the blocker drug and Google the web. BTW Metformin never has a big effect on blood sugar and having a low carb diet will always help a lot.

Are you taking your Metformin with meals? This is supposed to reduce it's annoying effects on the digestive organs.

I was changed from regular metformin to slow release and it caused bloating and cramps so went back to the normal one.

Hi @suikersiekte,
Please report your symptoms to the prescriber so that you do not have to put up with these for too long.
