Brief Answer: Side effect of metformin Detailed Answer: Dear XXXXXXX hi! you are facing the side effects of metformin. wala phage 850 mg twice a day is bit strong for you to start. so you may change to some other drug like XXXXXXX gliptins or vildagliptine in metformin 500 mg combination. for initial few days you may take drugs like pantoprazole 40 mg along with it. regards!
