Hi! Do you take the glucophage with food? I always take it when I eat a
meal, and that helps tremendously. Also, take them far apart. If u
take it 2x, take one at breakfast and one at dinner. Taking them too
close together or with too little food made me feel bad, but now I take
it 3x a day and am fine as long as I keep them spread out. I hope this
helps! :)
