A member asked:
On metformin for three days, horrible stomach cramps nausea and diarrhea - not able to eat - can the doc give me something for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Since this is a common side effect of metformin, your doctor could either titrate your dose more slowly, or change your metformin to the extended release form, or if all else fails, then consider anti-nausea medications to try to help you with these symptoms.
