Hi Y'all

I just came across this AMAZING webpage and thought I'd share with all you wonderful women!! :)

It talks about all the variations of glucophage, and how they work. There's a little blurb about PCOS too!! :)

Some interesting info:
The most common side effects with metformin are nausea, vomiting, gas, bloating, diarrhea and loss of appetite. These symptoms occur in one out of every three patients. These side effects may be severe enough to cause therapy to be discontinued in one out of every 20 patients. These side effects are related to the dose of the medication and may decrease if the dose is reduced.
