You should take metformin doses because this drug is well tolerated and first line medication for diabetes because it's having fewer side effects most it does not cause hypoglycemia. So instead of an alternative, you should adjust the dose if possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
