PCOS metformin
May 23 2007, 2:15 AM EDT
Hi everyone, I came across some information that might be relevant and helpful. About one third of women on metformin experience
gastrointestinal disturbances, including nausea, occasional vomiting and loose, more frequent bowel movements, or diarrhea. This
problem occurs more often after meals rich in fats or sugars. The symptoms lessen over time, so if you can tolerate the GI upset for a
few weeks, it may go away. Some women have found it helps to start with a very low dose and gradually increase it. One "benefit" of
these unpleasant symptoms is that you find yourself eating less and thus losing some weight. I got this info from a Dr. Dunne's
