Re: New here-severe PCOS but can't take Metformin
Thank you so much ladies!!
I saw my doctor this morning and I mentioned this to her - she didn't know much about it and thought that perhaps it was in the States only (as I am in Canada). She called the pharmacy and they confirmed that it is available here - called Glumetza.
I am SO relieved and hope that this helps with the side effects. She also recommended starting out with 500 a night then go up to 1500.
Thank you SOOOOO much - I thought I was just going to have to due without Metformin and hope for the best but now I have an answer.
She also started me on injections today we'll see what happens!
I have another question - I read a few posts where ladies are staying on Metformin throughout pregnancy. Is that recommended and are there any risks to the baby?
Thanks so much.
Kim
