my doctor is concerned with my enlarged liver. when I take the 500mg once in the morning and once at nite.. before I ate.. but not long after I have a lot of pain in the liver area.. I am going to stop taking it and see how I feel .. I will also call my doctor.. I was just wondering if the metformin is causing distress in the liver really I have to pay for you to tell me ?
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Metformin does not cause or worsen liver disease. In fact in some persons with fatty liver, metformin is one of the Chat Doctor. You can consider continuing the metformin. Your doctor will consider other possible sources of your liver disease. Liver function blood tests, blood tests checking for infective agents would need to be done. I hope this helps
