A member asked:

Which is more effective: metformin tablets or riomet oral solution? i'm having difficulty swallowing the pills. does riomet work as well as the pills?

Yes...same: They are the same med...Same as children liquid Motrin and adult tablet..Riomet is made for those having trouble with swallowing pills like you. They work/do same job. Often, liquid med may work faster or even better. In this case, they have similar effecacy/effectiveness. If you can't swallow the pills, then the pills don't work for you at all. Consult your doc.. Good luck.
