A member asked:
I normally take metformin er but i just got my new prescription and on the bottle it says metformin tab leg what does that mean?

It is possible that: LEG is an indication of the manufacturer. You were taking an extended release formulation and there should be some indication for that as well. (SR, EX, ER, etc.) Call the pharmacy that filled your Rx and ask them to explain this change to be certain you have been given the correct dose, formulation and drug. Mistakes do happen and this is not a drug or disease you want to make a mistake with.
