[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2194418, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome [USER=518326]@Wellers[/USER] Side effects are, unfortunately a possibility for any medication, food or herb. Fortunately, we can all check up on them using online resources nowadays. Your profile hasn't been completed to say which country you are from, but here is a link to a website that can list side effects for commonly used medications. [URL]https://bnf.nice.org.uk/guidance/adverse-reactions-to-drugs.html[/URL] Simply search for the drug name using the A-Z The important thing to remember is that we don't automatically get any of the listed side effects. We could take a drug for years, with no side effects, or we could get one or more of the side effects may appear or disappear over time. In the case of Metformin, reactions vary significantly, and the symptoms may reduce and/or disappear with consistent use. Another way to check for potential side effects is to look at the Patient Information Leaflet. These are the sheets of paper that come with the packaging of any medication. They can also be found online, either posted by members of the public, the drug manufacturer, or the healthcare system. A google search for (for example) 'Metformin patient information' yields this: [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=metformin+patient+information+leaflet+nhs&rlz=1C1CHZL_enGB711GB711&oq=metformin+patient+information&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.9100j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8']https://www.google.com/search? q=metformin+patient+information+leaflet+nhs&rlz=1C1CHZL_enGB711GB711&oq=metformin+patient+information&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j0l5.9100j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8[/URL] Hope that helps!
