    Thank you for the information and simple explanation. Helpful. I am considering taking it after 2 years of not being able to loose weight due to high blood sugar levels.

    My neurologist wants me to discuss starting Metformin for migraine prevention and assistance with my weight loss regimen/efforts. This was helpful understanding what to consider!

    Thank you! I was under the impression that I would be taking it for life! What happens if you take 1000mg a day, and you have up to 3 glasses of wine twice a week at dinner?

    @rdhar7783 Hi there, metformin starting dose is usually 500mg twice a day. However, sometimes it is prescribed at even smaller doses, usually for better tolerance. Talk to your doctor/pharmacist to help you find the best dose for you!

    Hello, thank you for such important info. I think I have a few questions. I'm worried if I can take vitamins or other supplements with metformin (like brewers yeast), can metformin somehow affect absorption of them or other medications. Should I maybe wait between taking metformin and my other pills and if so, how long? Thank you, once again

    Hello, thanks for your question! Theoretically there's no interaction between Brewer's yeast and metformin so you wouldn't need to take them at separate times. However, I would suggest that you discuss taking any supplements or vitamins with your pharmacist or doctor first. They can better advise you as they have access to your complete medical and pharmaceutical history. It's the best way to insure that there are no interactions with any of your meds, that you are taking an appropriate dose, and that you are minimizing the risk of side effects. Hope this helps!

    Can I take zofran with my metformin to alleviate the nausea?

    Hi! I love receiving questions and helping people here, but sometimes it’s best to speak to a healthcare professional who knows you and has access to your medical file. In your case, I’d suggest you start by calling your pharmacist. They can help you identify the cause of the nausea and suggest the best option to reduce it (whether it‘a taking a medication for nausea, or adjusting your other meds). Hope this helps! 🙏🏽
