A member asked:
Is is bad that metformin gives me diarrhea during pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common side effect: Diarrhea is a very common side effect of metformin. Best to reduce dose to level that doesn't cause diarrhea, usually seen as you titrate up the dose over the first couple of weeks. Should discuss your physician either way.
