Currently prescribed 500mg of metformin 2x daily but it makes me sick almost every time. can i start taking 1000 mg once a day instead? for pcos

Yes, but...: You can but I would check in with your prescribing doctor...1000mg all at once will likely make you more sick. Not sure how long you’ve been on it but one often gets used to it such that the GI symptoms go away after a few weeks. It’s not an awesome drug for pcos, so if it is making you miserable you may want to re-examine your goals for taking it and if there is a different way to get you there
