A member asked:

I found out metformin raised my liver enzymes while trying to treat pcos . can i finish the prescription i have left safely ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncommon: It is uncommon for metformin to raise your liven enzymes. High enzymes are more common in Insulin resistance no matter what the therapy. Check w/your doctor for other possible causes.
