A member asked:
Say you are not obese, and do not have diabetes (type 1 or 2) and take 2000of metformin(at once), what would happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach ache: We use metformin in patients without diabetes for other conditions like pcos, for example. If someone took 2000 mg of metformin just to try it, a bad stomach ache would likely ensue.
