[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1880824, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=490527]@Redcadence[/USER], Did anyone explain to you what the possible side-effects to Metformin were? It is considered proper prescribing practice to do so as well as what to do if such things happen. (GMC Good Practice in Prescribing and Managing Medication and Device) . I have yet to find an equivalent policy from Nursing and Midwifery Council. Some trusts include a clearly stated policy to inform patients of the side-effects of medications they are to be prescribed whilst others refer to legislation only. If you google 'Metformin - side-effects' you will see tummy upsets, diahorrea etc mentioned (in words such as 'gastro-intestinal upset'). Perhaps you could contact this DSN on Monday and ask what to do. Why put up with your discomfort if there might be a way to at least reduce it? [/QUOTE]
