A member asked:

If a pregnant woman with pcos who is on glucophage (metformin) eats something that makes her sick will it affect the baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Food poisoning: Whether you are on glucophage (metformin) or not, sometimes something you eat gives you vomiting and diarrhea. This is usually a problem that will resolve by itself. The fetus is not affected.
