Description

Joe Graedon, M.S., and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., write People's Pharmacy.

Q. When I was first prescribed metformin, I didn’t notice any side effects. Before long, though, I started having diarrhea every day, and I couldn’t leave the house after taking my pill each morning. If I go out shopping, I constantly mess up my clothes because I get a sharp pain, and within three minutes or less, I have to find a bathroom. I must carry extra undergarments, wipes, etc.
