Hi everyone, I've recently been prescribed Metformin 850mg Tablets to help manage my type 2 diabetes. I'm curious to hear from others who have experience with this medication. How has it worked for you? Have you experienced any side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? I'm particularly interested in hearing about any tips or tricks for minimizing stomach issues, as I've heard those can be common. Looking forward to your insights! Also curious to hear about anyone's experience with the urgent side effects mentioned in the medication guide.

I've been on Metformin for years and it's been great for controlling my blood sugar. Just make sure to stay hydrated and it helps with the side effects.

I feel like I've gained weight since starting Metformin. Has anyone else experienced this?

Metformin worked wonders for me! I started with 500mg and gradually increased to 850mg. Definitely had some stomach issues at first, but taking it with food helped a lot.

I heard that taking it with meals helps, but I still get some stomach upset. Anyone else experience this?

I switched to extended-release Metformin and it made a huge difference with the stomach issues. Might be worth talking to your doctor about!

Metformin is a lifesaver, but the side effects are no joke. Just remember, they usually go away after a few weeks.
