Hello...
I have a fatty liver and I have been on Glouphage since Sept. 2001. i
have never had the problems with the burning urine. Don't quote me but
usually that is from a urinary tract infection or it could be from a
yeast infection.
I have sometimes experienced that with a yeast infection but not fom
Glou. and a fatty liver.... I have had a fatty liver for years! hope
this helped..
