i’ve taken metformin for my diabetes for two years. i now have loose stool bloating and gas. is this a side effect?
this a great question that you can always ask your pharmacist. yes these are common side effects from the medication. it is very important that you drink a lot of fluids so you do not become dehydrated. are you taking the medication with food? this may help alleviate the gas and bloating. i would also recommend mentioning this to your health care provider on your next visit. they may adjust the dose of your medication.
